Occasionally I take my Bee out for a HPDE (Track Day) with at Thunder Hill Raceway. This is from October of 2022. The Bee is a 440-6 with a 4 speed, larger torsion bars, HD rear springs, bigger sway bars front and rear, and disc brakes up front.
Got everything from SummitRacing. Their Sparks Nevada warehouse is just minutes from my house.
Front Backspace is 4.5”
Rear Backspace is 5.5”
I do run a 1/4” billet spacer in the rear.

That’s exactly what I’m running in my 69’ Super Bee. Only issue I had were the wheel weights (hammered on) contacted the upper control arm. Stick on weights solved that.

If this was in my garage, I'd remeasure the driveline angles at the joints again just to confirm the angles. I would set the pinion angle down just a smidge to account for axle wrap while under a load if they are off. Once that is confirmed and within spec, I'd start to look into front slip yoke...
Hey Guys.... I just signed up for another weekend over at Thunder Hill. Its a 2 day HPDE similar to the last ones I attended. Its on October 8-9. I'm signed up with the Bee in group 3 and my youngest daughter is going to attend using my wife's awd Charger in group 1. We are planning to get there...
