Default Re: 62 Chevrolet, STILL No Traction

Here's that clutch slipping, Jeff:
http://www.bruneauperformance.ca/wat...tstock409.html
can't explain the tires though ? ? ?
and p l e a s e... no more about the "track is God's ground"... time and TIME again, it aint.
but seriously...

Low RPM, high RPM... ?
If this thing planted the tires AT ALL, it would shut the engine off if I tried to dump it at 3000.
Like I mentioned earlier, there is absolutely NO slippage in high gear.
Yes, I do use the clutch to shift ( doesn't the rule book say you have to ! )

The video above, is an old one, with the old tires ( they were relatively new at the time ).
Isn't quite THAT bad anymore. Like I mentioned, rather than bouncing off the rev limiter, and having to "back pedal"... at least now, the limited traction I have, keeps the engine from flaring up like the car's on ice.

You're right, I doubt the lower 1st gear is the miracle cure ( like... not )...
I just wish somebody could tell me where this rear control arm geometry should fall ?
