2. The Latest in IRS
Schwartz Performance now offers an independent rear suspension option for their entire line of G-Machine chassis that was designed and tested by the Schwartz R&D team.

It is based around a Currie F9 rearend housing and 35-spline third member with beefy RCV axles rated to handle up to 1,200 hp. A combination of heavy-duty FK 5/8-inch Heim joints as well as Ridetech’s R-Joints provide a secure and quieter assembly. The axles can be fitted with caliper brackets to secure Baer’s Pro-Plus or Extreme-Plus six-piston calipers and is available with Ridetech’s single- or triple-adjustable coilovers.

3. Classic Cragar, Classic Style
The classic five-spoke style of Cragar’s 08/61 Uni-Lug and 61C Direct Bolt Super Sport wheels have a chrome-plated steel rim mated to an A356 aluminum alloy center to minimize polishing time.

The classic Cragar is in sizes 14×6 to 15×14, and most have a lug design to fit 4×4.5, 4×4.75, and 4×5 bolt patterns. The 61C Direct Bolt Super Sports are available in sizes 15×4.5 to 17×9 and fit specific bolt patterns. The 61Cs are also available in a six-spoke version in 17×7, 17×8, and 17×9 sizes.

4. Holley Easy Level Fuel Level Sender
Classic Instruments now offers the ability to upgrade any Classic Instruments fuel sender to the all-new Holley Easy Level Fuel Level Sender. The new fuel sender uses LiDAR technology to precisely measure the depth of fuel remaining in the fuel tank and works with all Classic Instruments’ fuel gauges, including their short-sweep, full-sweep, and selectable ohm range fuel gauges.

It also works with many other gauge brands and any liquid. While this model is compatible with tanks ranging from 4 to 39 inches, there are also models available for deeper tanks. Easily set empty, half-tank, and full right on the workbench before installing and leave a reserve. The desired dampening rate is adjusted with dip switches right on the unit, plus the necessary screws and gasket for installation are included. Also watch for a new low-profile design to launch soon.
