Some of the 69 Motion Camaros used the Traction Master bars. This was a round bar that used a bracket that mounted to the spring plate in the rear. The front bracket mounted to either the front spring mount or some type of spring clamp. I have a set of NOS Traction Masters for a Chevelle with 24 in bar that I think can be used. You would need to fabricate new mount brackets because the Chevelle ones are different. You would need to fabricate a bracket to work around the sway bar. I remember seeing these types of bars used with the sway bar. see pic of Motion car with round type traction bars.

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/
