[Chevelle-list] Wheel hop.

[Trooper]

 Your going to see more wheel hop with a manual than with an auto. The big 
problem with the A-bodies is the pinion angle. You can reduce the wheel hop 
with ladder bars but it will ride like a log wagon. Get a pair of adjustable 
upper control arms and play with the pinion angle. You'll remove the wheel 
hop.
