My 68 Valiant, 512 Drag Race car, pulls to right on hard acceleration. It has a ferd 9 inch rear end, 4 link traction control suspension, with coil overs. Not sure what's wrong here. Can it be adjusted to keep it from pulling right on launch? Not too informed on this type rear end set up. It has a full roll cage, and 13 inch slicks. Thanks

While I have no experience with these types of suspensions I can tell you with almost absolute certainty that you need to tune the rear. If it doesn't pull while moving at a reasonable steady speed then it's in the rear.
 
Yes, I have watched the videos, and will align the housing as outlined in the video. Looks pretty easy
Then I will add some positive preload to the right rear tire, which will increase traction on that side. I lengthen the top right link to do that. Thanks!

Hello Garys72Duster,
Keep us updated as to the progress of your aliment / adjustments.
Thanks,
Happy Mopar :)

Those guys are certainly on to something...but don't forget to check the basic stuff. Pulling under acceleration/braking can be a symptom of worn strut rod bushings.
 
Aligned the rear end today, and put some pre load on the right rear tire. We'll see if that helps. It tracks straight when there is no load, just under acceleration it pulls right
