I am still waiting for an explanation of how changing the pinion angle on a 67 A-body effects traction. In your previous post you talk about "spring wrap," which has nothing to do with a 4 link setup using coil springs.

naw andrew, you figure it out..then we can discuss it..my post was an example..pinion angle will make a difference in bite..efficiency counts

thats partly why all those adjustable link setups are made for factory 4 link cars..

Since it seems that not having a front sway bar is beneficial, is there a way you could just temporarily disconnect it like with 4x4's? possibly somethin like this? http://store.jksmfg.com/merchant2/me...ar_Disconnects

The adjustable links are made for factory 4 link cars because the pinion angle will change when the ride height is altered from stock. Raising or lowering an a-body will alter the pinion angle and cause the rear u-joint working angle to not match the front u-joint working angle. By having adjustable upper control arms the pinion angle can be adjusted to eliminate driveline vibrations.

Once again, this has nothing to do with making a car have more or less traction.

Carry on.
