Are the 348-409 guys going to be at Norwalk or Dragway 42, or both?

I work part time at a muscle car shop and they have had nothing but trouble with the cheapest Sniper kits! These are the ones with the ecu in the main body. No trouble at all with external mount ecu units.

Would boxing be as strong as the Hotchkis or Global West control arms?

Just curious what is the best rear suspension? Stock, UMI, Hotchkis, Global West. I'm building, a street 409 62 Belair, but it will see some track time!

Do you have the six, fin trim pieces? If you don't I have a set that came off a 2dr Biscayne! I don't have any extra clips.

Wondering if any one can tell me if I need a cam button? I have a 348 .030 over, 0921 Isky cam, Cloyes true roller timing chain, Mallory distributor, 10 to 1 forged pistons. Vic

Hi: Thank you for welcoming me in! Where do I start? Wellll all the vehicles I have listed are major projects! The closest one to being finished is the 60 Belair. It was my grandfathers car, and has been in the family since 61. I actually started restoring it six years ago, but stopped when...
