Thanks. Yah I think I'll order a new set of springs from ESPO. These have been a nightmare. Definitely addressing the rust also. Housing came from Moser with perches set at stock pinion angle. 8 3/4 Mopar Fabricated Housing & Axle Package - Moser Engineering Nope, I'm not an expert mechanic...

Yah. That is with weight on the ground.

Yah. Im addressing that also. I started working on the frame to get rid of it. There is some surface rust that came back where the bare metal from the work was exposed. The picture makes it look worse than it is.

I bought them from another guy who had a Barracuda also...I looked up the number and other people seemed to have installed these in A bodies before so I thought it would be OK. Its just not right though and has taken me so much time to fit. It doesn't seem like they are long enough either...

Yah...I might just get new springs. Seems like they F-ing everything up.

I'll take a look at that. It's just so much higher than I thought it would be. This pic is with the lowering blocks.

Do the springs look like they are backward or no?

Ok thanks. The Right Stuff brake instructions are not so great.

Installing a new rear end and super stock springs in a 67 Barracuda. The axle seems to be rotated so its higher in the front than the rear. Shouldn't it be the other way? Did I somehow install the springs backward? It doesn't seem right.

I'll give that a try.

So of I went with something like this then how would I plumb that? I guess something like a stainless flex fuel line out the top to a bulkhead fitting where it goes through the floor of the trunk and at that point it switches to a rigid line going forward? Jaz Products Pro Sport Fuel Cells...

275 60R15. I dont think I would want to go much smaller than that. Yah...diff is big. I think maybe best to just take the fuel tank out and get a fuel cell. The diff fluid filler will probably always be a problem to get to unless I go that route.

Maybe I have the wrong springs? They also are very high even with the lowering blocks. The shock is not fully attached of course. Its just dangling for now basically as I'm test fitting everything.
