Anyone with hotchkis suspension?
(Preview)
I just bought their stage 2 kit with new control arms front and rear for my small block 68 Beaumont , great looking kit! My question is what camber and caster settings should I be aiming for? Car is not going to be full blown auto cross car, it will also do a bunch of highway duty. Thanks for any input!

Thoughts on Poly rear control bushings
(Preview)

65 beaumont sd rag, brake booster/master cylinder
(Preview)
Just installed a brake booster for a 65 chevelle and a dual master cylinder from a 66 chevelle with drum brakes all around. The brakes are really sensitive, hard to stop without locking up wheels. Any ideas how to make them less sensitive?

We need to know if the auto brake pedal 'housing' (also holds up the steering column) from a 1966 Beaumont will fit into a 1967 Beaumont. The only reason why I ask is because they went to the collapsable steering column in '67 and if not mistaken they went to a 3 bolt hold up bracket as opposed to a 2 bolt brac...
