wheel hop a-body

[snorider6]

I just put a 502 with a 4-speed ina 1966 lemans.I also installed a currie 9'' 3:50 posi.what is a good combo to eliminate wheel hop.I know of edelbrocks adjustable upper arms.also anyone know the correct pinion angle for an a-body.any info would be great thank you.

I have a 9" Currie in a 69 A-Body. I can't say for sure how they will work because the car is not built yet, but I elected to go with the Currietrac upper arms and lower trailing arms. They have Johnny Joints that can be greased. I also installed the Hotchkis frame braces. I am assuming the wheel hop you have would be from drag racing? If so you may consider air bags to pre-load the coil spring. The pre-load worked for me on a 66 B-Body that was a drag car. I am not sure about angle but I think asking Currie would be good. Here is a link on the arms http://www.currieenterprises.com/ces...2.aspx?id=1143
Good luck.

i havent done an A body in a few years, so im sure there is something better out there....but i used a set of "no hop" bars from lakewood on a 'velle witha 377/4spd. the bars cured it 100%, have video of it someplace packin a front tire(about 1/2"...but it WAS airborne) through an intersection on the street(with slicks)
