Thanks. That’s what I wanted to hear! I just did not want to get too deep into it just in case it. Mine look similar to yours. Did you notice any change in traction with the three installs

I use the Eddys on mine, and I put the Lakewood version on Dad's car.

Both do the same thing.

Yes it has made 60 foot times more consistent and the cars more predictable. They work great for drag radial applications where you want separation.

Over time I took them a step further with adjustable upper bars and double adjustable shocks so I could fine tune things. As I added more power I found I needed more rebound control to slow the separation down.

FWIW, I did use the Edelbrock no hops on an 8.5 years back. I remember I had the same concern, as they didn’t really fit out of the box. I had to do some grinding on the rear end housing and no hops to get them to fit.
