Custom IFS Questions
I've got a couple of questions I'd like to run across you guys. On my C-Cab, the previous owner did up a custom IFS mimicking '73 Nova geometry (according to him) and used customg shortened '69 Impala spindles. Why he did this I don't know. The trouble is, he's lost the spindles because the car has been dis-assembled since '87 and he's moved several times. Anyhow, I have a pair of '73 Ventura Drum brake assemblies on it now which has been the only Chevrolet setup I could find with the ball joints really close together. Is there any other similiar spindle with the ball joints closer toghether than that?
My other question is, what would be the correct positioning of the upper and lower control arms whe the car is at weight and at rest? (i.e. should the upper control arm have more angle than the lower?) I'll see if I can get a pic up of the front end I'm talking about. Thanks!Dan Ouellette

Several years back, maybe before John & Rosie visited, Mike got fed up with work politics and took a week off to come to Kansas. We ran around the KC Metro for 2 or 3 days, and then he took a side...
