Here’s an update on my handling issues. Softening the shocks to soft all the way around improved the ride considerably, as did lessing the tire pressure to 40psi in the front and 34psi in the rear. I probably would have been happier with 15" wheels and tires with a little taller side wall. Oh well.
When I changed the front springs, I bought them from Doug Jennings and didn’t pay attention to their rating. I believe Doug said they are a little stiffer than original Tiger springs. I have ordered a set of Dale’s leaf springs and will install those when I do the posi, hopefully in a week or so. I’m also planning on changing the steering rack, again going with the kit Dale offers.
Just to be on the safe side I’m ordering the reinforcement kit from Tom Hall and will do that when I do the leaf springs. I’m hoping with these changes I can cruise the highways at whatever speed I want and know the car will stay on the road. In the meantime this car is very driveable right now and I am having a blast with it. Flash back to 1969-72 when I was cruising all around the west in my ’65. More later after the changes. Bruce
