'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist

Good deal on the Valiant. I know bigger meats made a huge difference on mine. And the fact that we have a alignment shop in town where one of the guys knows old Mopars and gets the caster settings correct. Less bump steer and a car that wants to self center when coming out of turns. Makes a huge difference.

I believe it - but what really surprises me is that even after realigning the suspension properly for radials (I OK'ed the caster and camber on the machine while it was adjusted), the small 13" tires completely negate the handling as if it were still set for bias-ply.

I don't know exactly the reason the P185's are screwing up the front end geometry, but they act as if the front end is still dialed in with positive camber. With the same alignment, the P215's feel properly in the negative camber range.

Loving watching the Satty come together. You'll really have to do a video when she runs :cheers:

You'll be pleasantly surprised. Video production is half hobby, half business, and I've put a lot of effort into a two-part episode featuring the Valiant and the Satellite. Can't release it until I have video of the Satellite running though - and I need more Valiant footage (and it takes a bit to sucker my camera-operating buddies to shoot footage over the weekend, for - unlike my work - I can't be behind the wheel and the camera at the same time).
