Dave, When you get ready to mount your brake pedal if you don't already have a return spring, A spring from a tri-five chevy pedal with a big flat washer drilled for adjustments works great.

So what does the chassis guy say about a 1" differential side to side? That's a game stopper, seems to me..... or at least a significant delay of game.... Gotta be fixed.

Differences in wheelbase from side to side isnt fixed by alignment regardless of what the OZE people might say. I would also check the parallelism of the A-arms....if their build quality is so bad as to allow that big of a wheelbase difference, any other measurement would be suspect. If a frame builder cant hold to a 1/16", they are piss poor and should have their helmet taken away. Marvel mystery oil wont fix this problem.

I have to agree with Robot. Alignment is simply all four wheels pointing straight ahead, and then some caster & camber dialed in on the front. If you have a solid axle in back and it's perpendicular to the frame (no dog tracking) then the problem is up front - one set of A-arms is mounted 1" farther ahead than the other one, or on the "ideal centerline" one it back and one is ahead 1/2" each, or some decimal amount that adds to your 1". They can still be pointing straight, and the caster & camber can be dead on, but it's crooked. There's no excuse for things being that far out, and I'd say you have a legitimate complaint with the people from OZE.Roger

I'd like to know a little more about how he mounted and squared/measured the rear axle before I would get all in a knot about the front---------

I agree, Jerry. You'll note that my third sentence says, Originally Posted by jerry clayton

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
