Leaf link question

MIRADA · 08-14-2013, 09:34 PM

I have a question,I have a Dodge Mirada SS/KA ,the car was built by my uncle in the early 80s using the old leaf link setup.I had a new Armstrong built 360 and with the extra 75plus hp .the car doesn't want to hook.sometimes it will but its kinda all over the place,The leaf link uses inboard mounted springs with upper and lower bars,I have tried moving weight, transferring weight with torsion bars and tired pressure,I run 30x10.5 Hoosier Radials ,The best 60' is 1.42 but then it might blow the tires off on the next pass.Leaving at 3400rpm on the transbrake.the shocks are Afco non adjustable 70-30s,I know I probably should back halve the car but would like to figure this out first,any help would be appreciated.......Thanks Alan.
