    Re: pinion angle

    See i was advised to nose the diff down 1.5 by putting wedges between the springs and the axle. Now this is something that is done in alot of cars and advised by people who have been doing it alot longer than me

    Re: pinion angle

    Barn, you going to the race retro show?

    Matt, with your front bushes and anti-tramps when you apply power, the nose will lift approx 1.5 so the prop will be in a straight line.

    Your manta uses torque tube to launch, ie a solid connection to somewhere near the C of G of the car.. well on the manta it falls short, hence the lift at the rear only ..
    but a prop cant lift the car, it has a flexable joint .. perhaps running teh prop straight saves on trans losses..
