Sorry to highjack guys but Elvio, Looks like your running EA/EB type discs on your 9 inch. Did you do the conversion? Apart from the hole positions being 90* was the offset alright?

Have found a really good thread on caltrac adjustments , just google "caltrac yellow bullet" I have found it pretty helpful.
Thanks again for your post on here. Got a meet on 12th of feb so I'll let you know how I go

Thanks

Sick HG, They bolt straight on, if your bearings are big you have the bore out the hole, drill holes 90deg. I had my axle flanges welded on 90deg.

Escort351, No probs, the trick is track time, people have replicated what i run and have not worked for them, start with a base setting and don't forget what has been tested.

PS, the lighter the car the faster your 60foot times will be.

Cheers for that bud, I got a complete EA setup off a mate and I'm getting sorted to fit them up on my HG. mines an XA diff so I thought the falcon set up would be a good option. I'm a fitter and turner so the machining is fine I wanted to check the offset.
Thanks again.

Ok traction bars are set , I've made up some clamps for the springs and got some ET streets coming this week, 1/8th mile drags are next weekend. Can't wait to see how it comes together

Well 1/8 mile drags happened today and reasonable happy. Best 60foot time of 1.53 and best 1/8 of 7.11, trying like Buggery to crack the 7.0 but never got there.
