Whats up everyone?
I was talking to a few people about my Gremlin and some of em 
was 
saying that the Gremlins are hard to get to hook up.
A few others said they new a fella back when and his would hook 
pretty hard.
Any of you guys n Gals with done Gremlins have any troubles 
hookin 
up?
I have the MT tires, so I know they wont grab very well, but ltr Im
going to switch to some DOT street slicks. I have the 4 link
suspension, adjustable shocks and the fuel cell centered over the 
rear
pretty good. Think it will be an issue? Rod


------------------------------------

Nope - 

the thing you're looking for is R'otation' -
that point when you unload the clutch
to bring the nose up and drop the
body weight slightly infront of
the rear slicks
Contact Patch - 

If somewhere in that A'rc' - something
isn't - then the weight will suspend 
somewhere inbetween - unevenly -
and you go up in smoke.

Run the front real loose & see how
the arc forms and ends
- for a few launches.

Then you'll need a VooDoo Dr. to
*Tweak* that four link - between
Dances -

As to Engine Weights - I posted
to Gremlin X.com that the 
early AMC V8 is 600lbs.
late Amc V8 is 540lbs.
early Six  199 is 500lbs.

so a 360 with Edelbrock Heads
& Intake w/ light weight starter
would chalk in around 400lbs.
