Found most of the receipts from the build, also found the build sheet. I have almost all the parts to put this suspension back to stock if so desired. Factory spindles and control arms, front sway bar, rear axles and drums. Factory J heads, and stock rocker arms as well and factory tac. Also...

If interested and too far to pick up, and your in Canada or the US, I will looking into shipping and cover cost within reasonable amount for train or open trailer truck, or similarly priced.

As tight as I could get it without touching on a lowered suspension.

I went with a 18"X8" front with 5 3/8" back spacing, and 18"X9.5" rear with 6 1/4" back spacing with a 3/4" inboard spring relocation kit. Tires are 225/45-18 and 265/35-18. very tight fit but it works.

I haven't been active on for a-bodies for a while, but I do check in from time to time to see what is going on. It looks like I will be making the trip by my self this year, and was hoping I could join you guys on Sunday? :toothy1: I can bring shade as well as my 70 Swinger, once I get it...

I have to agree, I have not been on the forum for a while, and just noticed what I have been missing. Very nice project. I am wishing I went this route with my Dart. I love the mini tub and the tires you got in. I only go a 265 without the tub, more tire lookes great. But it is all looking...

I measured the backspacing for my wheels. The front wheels 18" X 8" are 5 3/8" backspacing.... The rear wheels 18" X 9.5 are 6 1/4" backspacing.... I moved the rear springs in with a .80" off set hanger to make room for the wide wheels and tires, also I centred the rear axle housing to the car...

I think the products they make are great. I used the upper controll arms, the stage 2 steering box, the fast ratio pitman arm and ideler arm. I like the parts very much. And they are a great help on the phone.

has anyone ever locked the distributor up? The reason I say this is because I am going through lots of unburt fuel and I blamed the cam and the carb, but what if the distributor was locked out. Put at one setting and left alone. I am told the car will preforme better off the line, will burn...

Thanks a bunch. I see most of you agree the cam is the problem. I took a look at Hughes and found a sweet cam that give the sound of a big lumpy cam but not the draw backs of a big cam, like fuel comsumption. http://www.hughesengines.com/partDetail.asp?partID=11613&eTypeID=1 will this cam...
