Your going to see more wheel hop with a manual than with an auto. The big
problem with the A-bodies is the pinion angle. You can reduce the wheel hop
with ladder bars but it will ride like a log wagon. Get a pair of adjustable
upper control arms and play with the pinion angle. You'll remove the wheel
hop.

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
