Rear End Float.
Hey guys,
I have a 77 L-82 with about 320 HP at the wheels. Built top half of motor, ate a clutch, fixed it and now have been having fun. My problem is that when I let off the gas after hard acceleration at high speeds or at lower speeds while cornering, the back end seems to pick up after the squat from accelerating, and it floats around as if it wants to break loose and come around on me. I am mostly use to it now, but I have started driving it more agressively in corners and such so I would like to attmept to fix the problem. What do I need to make it handle more like a corvette of today and less like an old boat. More importantly, how do I stop the back end from floating around.
