Move the bracket to the top of the Trailing Arm. A mod you'll find several folks have done here. You may find it in a thread with the Johnny Joint (spherical bearings) Mod to replace the bushings.
Good luck.

I have had 275/50/17 on back of my '72 for some 20 years now, '89 vette wheels, I just cut the brake tab off, and had it welded behind the rotor, more or less in same position as stock, then moved the cable brackets on the frame, I tried the top position, but for some reason it did not work well for me....
I have maybe 1/4 inch clearance between sway bar/frame?/t-arm frame maybe has a bit more....

I wont have to move it too far. I'm going to zip tie it up for a little bit until I get the rest of the little stuff done. I should be starting it in the next couple days... (crossing my fingers)

Jim I was able to crawl under the car a few minutes ago and I see what you were talking about. The clamp is on the side of the trailing arm and they need to be relocated on top of it. It would then have the proper placement. Thanks again...

C3 Mechanical fuel pump
My old pump has three ports, one to carbs, a main gas line and another small one... See pict. My new pump does not have three. It only has one to the carbs, and the other one is for the main fuel line. Can I just cap the smaller line that would normally run into the old pump?
