Did you build that yourself or is it a back half kit from a chassis shop…either way it is very nice

I know this one goes back a few years, but did you ever end up moving forward with a rear system....

I got some made out of aluminum … less hassle than shipping and dealing with customs

Car is still covered in snow…..

I put a stage 2 FF in a car 20 years ago on their advice…should have went stage 3…also it was sloppy just like the factory box after 50000 miles…unless you want it to look factory I would go with an aftermarket box

I ran 1.14s in my 68 Valiant…they are not that stiff…. I’m going to put the same size bars in my 72 Scamp when I swap in the 416 inch small block this year…just waiting on the miladon road race oil pan for 8 months now…

It looks to me... the previous owner "may" have modified spool type mounts to fit a biscuit (67-72) K member... Post some picture of the K member in your car if you could...

Why is there a bearing on the old spool motor mount…did someone modify it to fit a biscuit style k member?

I have them in the front and back of my square body…. with a full time transfer case… no noise out of either differential…. But on ice or snow covered roads the truck can do some interesting detours if you don’t pay attention

If you are ever lost on land or sea…there is only one word you need to know…

If I ever get lost at sea or in the woods I’m just going to start yelling “ Alterkation” …you can bet your life within 5 minutes 3 people will show up to tell you how stock suspension is better…happy New Year!

The Vikings are double adjustable… they are actually better for a car with small/stock bars as you can add compression damping…with the big bars their damping characteristics just don’t work…I took them off my car with the 1.14 bars and put them on my old purple junker with .92 bars..

They are silver non adjustable… I likely bought them 10 years ago or longer now I think about it…Bill Clinton was your president when I bought my 1.14 inch bars…

The ones PST sold… I believe they were RDC models…in a lovely silver colour

One thing I learned from years of motocross is stiff spring rates can actually make the bike ride softer…when you don’t have enough spring rate you blow through the suspension travel and bottom out…and bottomed out suspension be it car or bike is both stiff and harsh…now not a single passenger...

Put stands or a jack under it to take the weight off…even if are lowering it

Do you have a link to the non power road race rack? I’m building another car right now... it has an alterkation and I would prefer manual steering to keep the weight down.

Anything past about 6 clicks of compression damping on the warriors and I think that it's starting to put too much stress on the shock mounts in my opinion.

On an A body with 1.14 bars you can put about 2 to 3 clicks of compression at the most from full soft and maybe clicks 6 clicks of rebound. On the car with small bars maybe 6 or 7 compression at the very most and 3 to 4 rebound max...

I have a set on a car with 1.14 bars and a set on a car with .85 bars...through the years I have run every shock from KYB to bilstein

I have purchased these shocks(through PST) and feel the valving is to stiff, once you get past about 6 clicks in on compression or rebound they are just too harsh.

Yes they are closer to the frame... you now have to shift, move, dent and grind until it fits...

Even a stock bar should be fine for what you are doing, you could likely get one cheap.

Mine has 3x3 square connectors

I welded the sub frame connectors to the torsion bar sockets.

1.14s are no problem...my wife’s 2019 GT Mustang is firmer on the front

May as well go all out...

I run Mopar performance 1.14 bars and a double adjustable shock in my 69 Valiant...good combo for all around driving. I was going to run 1.20 bars but was going to have to modify the TTI headers at that size so I went with 1.14s.

Drill spot welds...hit with hammer...there my be a couple on the bottom as well.

This is my friend Mike’s car ... home made Caltracs and lower shock plates, Springs are mono leaf that he had the local spring shop here in Winnipeg make.
