There ya go ^^^!

If you are using OEM type bushings, the settings will not stay put. Also, without some serious work, you will need to limit the front suspension travel to keep the toe and camber within reason.

I would love to see some pictures of your 67. Could you post some or email some to L79racer@aol.com. Some specs would be nice also. Thanks,

Vinny

Thanks for all the information. I’m taking the car to the track tonight for its first ever run. Right now the car is set up with the 427/390hp 4speed. My plan is to run the 427/400hp but I don’t have the carbs done yet. I will try to post some picture and my result from tonight. Thanks

I run a 71 vette 454/425 combo... The bump steer on vettes can be very touchy and my advice is to make sure you talk to someone who is familiar with them. Our Car and both of the Art's cars (Brandon Wilkinson, and Kenny Schiendler) were done by Gary Jennings. In my opinion he is the best.
