@A408Cuda I think given your aftermarket control arms that specs like Frnknsteen's should be an easy dial-in. Your power steering will take the gorilla out of it. I've never run wheels bigger then 15" so 72bluNblue's bigger caster numbers might be in order for your 18's but I'd personally...

Nice! Lottsa caster, more then I've ever run. Impressed that you're strong arming that with fast-ratio manual steering. I'm too old for that! (But don't call me Granny!)

Good point 72bluNblu, re "Granny". Factory specs had to accommodate the little old lady Valiant with 24-1 manual steering that she needed to parallel park. Zero caster eases the steering wheel load but is hell for high speed stability. Add fat tires and find a tree. I've had as much as two...

Credit to Rick Ehrenberg for sussing out some of these values btw, I've tried to pay attention and have experimented on my own but Rick has documented much of this, see MOPAR Action (Not MOPAR Muscle!) archives for solid engineering references.

A-Body suspension geometry is really well engineered (thank you Scott Harvey) and since I had an SCCA/A-Sedan 65 Barracuda that I found and converted to a street car in the mid-70's, I've been a student of tuning for handling. My general rule of thumb with a stock front end is to ask an...

A friend suggested I should expand on the last. Maybe noting the friendly argument at the time as Dick Guldstrand. Corvette chassis engineer was about stiff springs and light anti-sway bars as Herb Adams was into lighter spring rates and bigger sway bars (Pontiac Trans Am). I have built a...

I got into road handling A-bodies in the mid-70s and had some interesting references not available to most folks as I happened on a 65 Cuda that was built into an A-Sedan SCCA race car, run competitively for a number of seasons (including the first year of Trans Am in 66) and popped up for me as...
