Dan,
You might want to make sure the rear end is properly aligned on the leaf
springs. If one wheel is further ahead than the other, a similar twitch
could result. I recently bought Moss' nylatron rear spring pads and
trunnion to shock bushes for my '74. I couldn't be happier...Of course, I
haven't driven the car yet!!! Good luck - I'm sure your son will enjoy the
car as much as the rest of us!
