Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
So with the 1" narrow control arms I had to cut 1" off of the outer tie rod end. Well the sleeves are bottoming out. So I had to order some new shorter ones. Found some really nice QA1 sleeves.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
I got to take it out yesterday for a little cruise in. Took it up the parkway drives great! Handles better and turns better turns deeper. But I am so low I did scrape my new long tube headers. So the headers have to go. Which sucks cause they only have about 500 miles on them. I drove it pretty hard making sure everything was good. Everything is seated and nothing fell off so I must have put everything on right lol. I only put about 30 miles on the new setup. But this is the best setup I have had. Minus the headers rubbing the ground on dip. Very pleased and happy with PB arms.

The ones I ordered are 69026 1 3/4 HTC Coated. What I ordered.

The ones you posted about the 69010 are 1 5/8 uncoated aka painted.


The minimum primary I can run on my AFR heads is a 1 3/4. Plus black paint won't match my setup and will burn off.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Headers fit really well and look good. Have you considered fuel injection like Ezefi from FAST or the Holley / MSD systems?

Thanks. Yes I have looked into it. I like the Holley system. I like it better than the EZ they are the only 2 capable of feeding the amount of power I have. But if I do that then I will have to upgrade the fuel system and I would want the aeromotive phantom 340 in tank setup. That will be down the road if I go that route. But to be honest efi to me is more for fuel milage I don't really care about fuel milage with this setup. It a hot rod imo. Plus sometimes simple is better. Plus i am wanting to put a centrifical supercharger on it with a blow through carb. Hahaha. That's way down the road. If you want to make big power carb is the way to go.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Well change of plans. After reading talking figuring I went with another company. Went with BLP for my carb. Yes it cost more money but what you get is worth the cost difference. Here is what I am getting. Flows 930 cfm.
