What's outstanding is the options available from the day I joined this group in 2003 IRC with less than 900 members to now. I'm not doing autoX... I just want 15" Cop Steels 225/235 front and 255+ in the rear and handle better than when it did, back in the day. Small block for now but I've got a...

Having read pretty much everything, I'm thinking the K-1 will work best for me... Room for a BB in the future, ease of maintance, etc. 225 on 15's in the front is what I want and should be all I need. I'm not full blown autoX or drag race specific but I sure as hell want to get this done before...

Holy Crap that was quite the firestorm.

Well yeah, but that wasn't my question.

I've got King Coilovers on the front of my YJ and they are amazing. Click it up on the dampening and I don't even need sway bars, drop it all the way down and I'm super compliant on the trails, plus the spring selection is outstanding. Granted, I really don't need that on this build.

Outstanding information Go-Fish!

Wow! Very well done!

Lol, I'm a Jeep guy, I can find the right heim for anything, but you make a great point.

This was an original V8 car and I have no issue with welding/fabrication. I'm very open to modifying the original K member for strength.

I've got a 72 Duster and have a mild built LA (350-400hp), I may go with a BB block (stroked 400) in the future. This car will not be a dragstrip only car. I want to enjoy it, do some mountain cruising, some twisty's etc. Hey, don't get me wrong, I love hitting the strip but 2 -3 hours between...

$500 for a paper air filter? That's not crack, that's LSD.

IIRC, they are press fit. Slide hammer away.

Thanks Autox! This was information I was looking for.

Great info Autox! Being the suspension dumbass I am, I hope you could answer this question. Is it possible to mount 245 50 16 front and 285 50 16 rear tires on a '72 Duster? My engine will be a 4" stroker and I will want to use fenderwell headers too, lol! Yes, I want it all. I want drag...

Thanks outlaw! I'm going to give this a try on the truck.

I'd be swapping on slicks and making a few other changes as part of my pre-run program anyway so this sounds pretty good. Thanks Cracked!

I'm not at all concerned with NVH, but the plan is to have the Duster handle well plus launch hard too. I want it all! lol.

Do Cal-tracs negatively affect handling?

X2!

Yes Steve, It's the snowball from hell. Sure beats car payments and high insurance rates though. :)

I need to do this with my Ramcharger. There's so much boost after I rebuilt the pump and box that I can steer this 5000# truck with one finger. It's a creepy feeling and I need some resistance. I don't recall ever seeing a restrictor in the pump when I rebuilt it but this is a Saginaw box and...

Or you could just get an AlterKtion K-frame with the rack and pinion option for few thou more. :) 'Aint hot rodding fun?

Excellent info Moparbrit! Thank you for letting us all know what the resolution was.

Great information Red and socal. Looking forward to getting the Duster done one of these days and this will get filed away.

Great article Demon. When I said increasing camber, I did mean negative camber. That's what get for marrying a SCCA road racer. Her old man knows his poop too, he built the cars for her, lol!

Demon, Is there such thing as too much caster on our cars? Also, could an improvement be seen by increasing camber on a sometime roadrace car to keep more rubber on the road when turning forces?

Check out these guys too. They have a lot of neat products for our A-bodies and have some good tech tips too. http://www.firmfeel.com/a.htm Also, don't forget about frame connectors and a roll bar to prevent chassis flex.

Sounds like a tire issue. Just a guess.

Thank you Keith! Good job abodyhotrod!

Keith, I saw your install and thought "Man, what a ***** it is to weld over head.", then I went to their site and saw that they were installing the connectors with the car on a rotiserrie. Did you install yours with the car on the floor?
