I just changed rear end gears to 336 and with the posi. I had wheel hop real
bad. I did have adjustable upper control arms and took them out 5 turns and
wheel hop was gone.

I used Lakewood bars on won car but it made the ride stiff all the time.
Good for launch, not nice for cruising.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Wheel hop.
I just installed a Tremec 5 speed into my 68 SS. I switched
from a TH 400. The problem That I have now is bad wheel hop.
I never had it with the 400. I have boxed my lower control
arms and installed urethane bushings. Plus I have airlift
drag bags in my coils and Monroe coil shocks. I'm thinking
that I might have to get a set of traction bars,but I don't
want to loose the stock look. Have any of you guys used
traction bars or adjustable upper control arms to fix a
problem like this? The only thing that I can think of, that
might have changed in this switch over is the pinion angle.
Thanks ahead of time for any help....Dennis
