Hey Sully, just A thought but have you tried clamping the leaf springs like Dick Harrell did to some of his cars? That may help control wheel hop until you find exactly what you are searching for. I saw some pictures of the clamps he used on A 68 ChevyII in A 68 PHR article and think they look really neat and very "day 2ish". I crashed my computer and lost all my scans so I don't have the picture.

Sully, some of the wheelhop might be your tire pressure. I didn't run traction bars on my deuce back "in the day". but I did run air shocks and extensions, and left the sway bar on, although it was inverted. I ran Goodyear L60s on 8in. corvette rims, later went to fenton slots. At 28 psi the car wheelhopped all over. Dropped it down to 14psi dumped the clutch at 3700 and it left hard and straight. No wheelhop. As Rob will tell you tweaking, and experimenting are what makes a car work. Schonye [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/
