I have my snubber set up just like yours (middle hole) but when on the ground its touching the body already. Thought for the street you dont want it to touch when just sitting.
So, basically I learned from research is that pinion snubbers help reduce wheel hop and twisting of the rear. Some say good springs will make it no necessary to have a pinion snubber, but others say that it is important to have one because the higher hp you go the more it will come into play. So, it is a good idea to have? I am just using the ride for street cruising and some fun, with 235- 250 hp in a 70 dart, is it really necessary? I have extra stiff hemi springs I was told...

Huh? Where did you come up with this?
^^Once adjusted this way, the quality of the ride the rear suspension is capable of providing is much harsher than I am willing to put up with on the street.
I wish someone would make a robust pinion snubber that was switchable from deployed to retracted positions from inside the car. Then it would give the best of both worlds.
OOps is right.Oops, I meant 425-450 hp not 235-250!!! Lol...

How many of you are concerned with how hard your car is launching when you are just going to the store ?
... The only traction of concern should be when braking or making hard turns. All of this other stuff is just bench racing....U]
Huh thats weird? Mine is about 1.5-2 inches from touching
He is refuring to the tire size vs. gear ratio & the power of the engine that would be better as a performance vehicle rather than a everyday street truck that has balls.
The engine produces power in a curve, the stall converter plays a roll, the trans has gears that get it moving and the rear ratio & tire size are the final outlet of the power. Each part mentioned above can be tailored for street, Hwy. Race, road rally, grand ma's shopping car.
