New axle.

Just about ready to finish the 9" install.

Got a few questions.

Pinion angle. This is a street strip car running 4.88 rear, drag radials and 02 03 SS springs. More street than strip tho.
Should I go full 6/7 degrees negative or should I tame it down to more like -5?

With my spring sliders, should I set them centered in the travel or a little more to the rear? Some folks say center some say more to the rear... what do you think and why?

Now the fun stuff, pics!

35 spline axles from strange.

Heres the rear mocked up, OH Yeah! When the car went up on the lift it was 4 wheel drum with SPB, she rolling out BBP and 4 wheel disk. Once I get the pinion angle set, i will weld the perches and rebuild the back brace.

Notched the frame, boxed it in and moved the front hangars. I cant remember the member who I stole this idea from but hes in Hawaii and was very helpful. You know who you are and thank you!

Thanks for all the help, I'm getting super excited to pull her out of the shop and lay some rubber down!

I don`t know how much h.p. ur going to have , but myself, I`m giving up on drag radials. They remind me of m-h slicks , back in the day, don`t have enough initial bite for my car.
GRANTED, THERE ARE SOME DANG FAST CARS RUNNING THEM, BUT THEY ARE SCIENCED OUT AND MOST HAVE NEAR EXOTIC REAR SUSPENSIONS. (DAM CAPS !)
The cal tracs don't seem to work on mopars short front springs as well as the xxbrands longer springs. ????
