Default Re: 74 Nova chassis questions

I used to run a 67 Camaro and it handled like a cadillac at the end. When they lined it up I had them put extra positive caster in the front end. Stock alignment can't handle the speed.

Do you have radial tires up front? if so, get rid of them and puton some drag tires. Your car should handle a lot better. My "only a" (they are still racecars) bracket car runs about the same and a ghost could drive it.

Is the problem coming from sway in the rear or steering issues? If the car already sits high in the front it could be weight transfer issues. Kind of like pulling a trailer with too much tounge weight. Try lowering the front end where the air cant get underneath so much but use a little weight to do so. This will give you better tranfer and when the car settles it will glue to the track more. If the problem is sway use an anti sway kit
