Setting up Cal Tracs

I saw this nice document someone put together on yellowbullet and though I'd share for those needing some help.

Troy, thanks for the info, just finished a '69 Camaro 396/375 Iron head for B/S. This will help on tuning, think the stick combo would differ much over the auto settings? Thanks again, Tony Tosto 3050.

Settings are about the same. The one that took me time to figure out on my own was tightening the extension (rebound) on the rear. I always had a jag in my drive shaft line on RacePak from hitting the tire too hard. I had to have my D.A. Afcos re valved several years back to control it. Works great now.

An automatic car should be able to get away with Calvert's Ranchos or similar since they don't shock the tire like we do. Stick cars require a good double adjustable shock like Afcos to work their best.

Going to have the car at Topeka?

Troy, dealing with back pain issue so I missed the chances to get a grade point before Topeka race. Tim will be there with the '99 Camaro, hope to be able to help him, thanks, Tony Tosto 3050.

I've heard that Calvert Racing is great as a source for setup info on their bars.
