Kip, I believe the offset on the rear spring pads that Mike was talking about is 1 3/4" to properly centre the rearend. I was always told to put a level across the air horn of the carb you are using (the flat surface where the air filter will sit) and to have that level when you are making up mounts. Try that and see how it works out for you. What are you using for a steering column? I used a mid 70's Camaro in mine and the length was good.
