Pictures of Eddie's kit are about as rare as media coverage of the laptop from hell in 2020. ;-)

As Mark said, Limit the frontend travel, it get wacky quickly at the top of travel.

Re: Chevy II front end alignment
 

I have 2 Chevy2's and one I installed Eddie's kit. Works great and no problems for drag racing. The other one, I reached out to Pete Zawadzki (sp). and his stuff works too. I'm not sure if he is still messing with Chevy2's? He did sell me a kit, but I believe he prefers car in his shop. I'm in NC and I was able to get his components and he is located up north where it's cold. They can be a mess to drive when the front end gets up.

I had long conversations with Eddie and he said the lower the front end stance is generally the better. He is very knowledgeable with these front ends. Good luck.

Re: Chevy II front end alignment
 

I have a hunter computerized alignment system. It's an older one but still gives accurate readings. I agree with limiting travel on a Chevy II. I always run the car through the whole suspension travel to check and adjust bump steer. Caster is very important to top end stability. 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 degrees is nice but too much also makes it hard to steer. Camber settings are dependent on how much stuff changes as the suspension goes through it's travel. I watch camber change as I check the bump steer and kind of pick a spot in the middle for a setting. Everything can't be perfect for the whole run but I will raise the front a little to simulate going down the track and set the toe at zero because in or out the tire is still scrubbing. I've been doing this for over 30 years and have had pretty good luck. Just my thoughts. Thanks!

Re: Chevy II front end alignment
 

Are you setting alignment with driver weight in the seat?

Re: Chevy II front end alignment
 

Yes. Sorry I forgot to mention that. I always put weight in the seat to simulate the driver.
