I just wanted to post a quick thank you to all the usual suspects in the Unlawfuls Race section. I have a nice street car not a race car. I have been reading posts in here for the last few year as well as tech archives and some helpful PM's. I did some spring tuning on my car and with the info I have gained from these post I have removed a drive line vibration by correcting my pinion angle correctly lashed my valves.I have my carb set very crisp and it idles great(590 cam)and is very responsive. I correctly set my timing(damper had spun 7* replaced it with one from the for sale section) and even got the black fel-pro valve cover gaskets to stop leaking. Nothing to do now but take a weekend off and tow it to the track.
Thanks guys!
Josh

Thanks
still spins the 325/50's MT drag radials pretty bad. I have SS springs in the upper hole and small block torsion bars. The shocks are stock replacement in the front and the mopar shocks for the SS springs in the rear.

Nothing looks better than a 68 charger in B-5 with no vinyl. I'll never forget when my dad came home with a brand new one. 383 4 barrel,blue interior and magnum 500s.
