I am using a VBP dual mount rear spring on my 65. For some reason I can't seem to get the rear ride height up where I want it. As I tighten the spring end bolts it just seems to bend the spring. VBP says get a stiffer spring but when I put the current spring on the stiffest setting the car rides...
Does anyone have the part numbers and supplier for heim joints to replace the bushing ends on the VBP Smart Struts? I did some searching but have been unable to find them.
Thanks

What sway bars do you all recommend with front and rear dual mount springs on a SB 65. I'm currently running a VBP front bar 1.125 and no rear bar. 17X8 255/50 front and 17X9 275X50 rear. Shortened 460 ft coils and 300# rear spring. The VBP full kit comes with both bars but my experience is the...
I need to pull the rear wheels in a little to help with fender clearance for the tires. The tire sidewalls rub the fenders on suspension compression. I added 3" shafts from Fort Wayne C&D the same time I added the wider wheels. Are there stub axles or u-joint flanges that will shorten the...
Are "swedged end" better/stronger than "straight end" sleeves? Can they be used for rear strut rods?

I have a Steeroids set up on the 65. I like it but the steering is a little quicker than I than I would like. Right now it is 2 1/2 turns lock to lock. My undretsanding they use a "sport" rack. Anyone running a standard rack with 2 3/4-3 turns lock to lock? Impressions?
I put a Steeroids R&P set up on the 65 a couple years ago. Overall I like the set up except it always felt over assisted. The car was even a little twitchy at hwy speeds. I reduced the pump pressure with a shim kit and that seemed to help. Yesterday I installed a 2 gpm flow valve from Speedway...
I know Drag Vette has a really nice six link set up for C2& C3. But, I saw somewhere someone made their own set up without the safety hoops and cool finish. This person used shortened stock strut rods for the upper links. It wasn't fancy but looked like it would work. I can't remember where I...
What was the advantage of the stock gm aluminum intake design with the three hole plenum? No one uses it anymore. Is the two hole better?
Winters 441 intake, 65/66 350/365 hp engine.
Edelbrock Performer RPM. Other manufacturers the same design.
I guess I should introduce myself. I lurked for a little while and then just jumped in and asked some questions. Please forgive my poor manners in not introducing myself first.
I live in Maryland and bought the 65 about 6 years ago. I always had bikes in the past and still have a couple. I...
