Now I understand. I couldn't figure out why everyone was talking about
spinning. I try my hardest and can't get my '77 to break the back tires
loose. Of course that's probably because of the swing-spring and the massive
horse power of the Federal 1500 engine. &;o)>

Reid,
That is because you have a '79 Spit. Have you driven one of the early
ones that don't have the swing-spring? Without the camber compensator
installed it can be a real adventure!
