Work on them 60ft times and get them down.
Otherwise looks good. What's your setup?
How many leafs do you have in the rear? Shouldn't be wheel hopping.

Ahh that's why. You need more leafs. Or adjust the traction bar to hit sooner. Can also run the front spring eye as high as possible to add some instant center and plant. Should be able to get 1.85 60ft times with some good traction

So what model is that carb? And what fuel pump are you using? May be sucking the fuel bowl dry

What causes wheel hop??

[86c10sbc]

Tires wanting to get away from the ground, I would assume compression is good, just don't want rebound
