Thanks for the pics Joey. Mine for sure are the 15s or 20s. I have some black ones off a gt or something that Norman gave me with the inline steering blocks that I think are 30s. I'm gonna put those on and see how they look.
Joey, are you running 25s or 30s on the car you had at LRH a couple weeks ago?

I'm hoping part of the reason my car has been pushing so bad on throttle and is so twitchy off is the 15 degree blocks. I guess I'll find out Thursday.

I ran my short arm car this weekend (loose dirt track), handled a charm, it has the 15 degree carriers.

Swap to 30 degree carriers, and push weight forward (short pack :) )...and motor down! Set your EPA to 60% or something.

Will do, except the short pack for now, not ready to invest in that till I try some other things, since I have 3 standard packs that are fairly new. Hope to see you out there beating up on the modern cars again with your goldie 8)

you may need to install a couple washers underneath the ball stud on the knuckle. usually, 30 degree blocks create quite a bit of bump steer (depending on the height of the bellcrank).

Good to know, thanks. Running a rere World's steering rack.

Should the steering turnbuckles be close to level at ride height?
