Ridin' Low!!
I have noticed that my car rides very,very low, so low I rub the ground alot!! the part that rubs is the bottom of the bell housing, I was thinking of cutting straight across just below the bolts on this item, I mean I will sometimes rub going slowly across residential streets and sometimes when puling up to a stop light if the roadway is a little bumpy, I am going to get new tires for the front, I know mine are not tall enough,they are 225-60-15 on front and 275-60-15 on the rear, I have coil overs all around, and must admit I like the looks of the car sitting lower, anyone else have this problem??? Do I just need to jack her up some??:3DSMILE:

I had a bit of the same problem with the Butler (probably due to my fat a$$). I think Fred Douglass ended up picking her a bit from the weeds (he being known to have a similar fat a$$). Tire-wise, yours are not that low--hard to find something with a bigger cross section unless you go to bias ply type, like Hoosier TDs...although you might try 245s up front. |
Chuck, from the bottom of the bell housing 2-4 inches:eek:
Jamo, I think 245-60-15 may help, I sure don't want to jack it up like a 4 wheel drive!!:3DSMILE: |
Gordon,
After I installed the Tremac and a scatter shield bell housing, I had a little bit more than two inches to the road. It was a pain 'cuz I drqgged on everything and I was sure I was going to bust something. I had my guy cut off the bottom of the housing and it worked fine. Bish |
Bish, Thats what I am going to try also, but I am going to get a slightly taller tire for the front when these wear out if I can last that long:3DSMILE:

Good, Gordon. Cutting the bell housing completely solved my problem. Appearently it is a not uncommon problem in the Hot Rod world. I was having nightmares about speed bumps!
