    Questions on adjusting shocks & spring rates on my '32

     



    ......Hello Everyone, I hope & pray that everyone is having a fun & safe ***Labor Day*** Week-end. Cuz I AM!!! ..... I've mentioned before that my car doesn't ride very well nor 'hook up' very well. I checked the springs & they say Pete & Jakes, 300/9.5.... What does this mean? & Are these good springs for a confortable ride? Good drag race 'hooking'? or What??? Also, my shocks are made by American & have an adjustable knob on them that goes from 1 to 6. Is anyone familiar with these shocks? (I went to their web site but it didn't say anything about adjusting them). How should they be adjusted for comfort? for drag racing? As always, THANKS for all your replys, Bill

    ps, ***ah yeah, make that Memorial Day***
