You might need to get a couple of books, try the Mopar
Chassis book for the front end and Door Slammers or
Bickles chassis book for the rear set up

Mopar Performance Chassis Book P5007160 ,40 bucks
I think, at the parts counter. Book may be updated
for the millenium.

Chris Alston has a chassis manual, if you can find one.

I am not a drag racer, but ended up with one of those...it shows copyright 1985. No idea how out of date the stuff in it would be ?

Oh, and got the Alston catalog and dot-matrix-printed price list in it too even

I bought one back then(1980 era) when I became one of Chris So Ca dealers, it shows you how to check the chassis for square real well Not much else in that book
