I used 6 straps. The dyno shop had a rack of various types. Two on the rear most cross member going aft. two on the cross member just in front of the differential, pulling down and forward. one on each A-Arm outside of the spring tied aft

what about the 2 holes used in the very front frame crossmember when towing onto a flat bed?

is the a-arms a good idea since many people say not to wrap a tow strap to them when going onto a flat bed?

I did not worry about it. Your car nose will want to rise when you apply power to the drum. I dyno tuned an engine combo years ago. So it spent allot of time at all kinds of rpm with exhaust sniffers.
