Center of Gravity Location - 72 Cuda Hardtop Need Help

[larry4406]

For those of you that have a 70-74 cuda mounted on a rotisserie and properly balanced, what is the distance from the top of the radiator support down to the axis of rotation? I need to modify my front brackets, ran out of adjustment and body still pendulums.

At the rear - where is the axis of rotation relative to the gas filler hole in the rear panel?

I am assuming that the CG is on the longitudinal centerline of the car.

I used to have a mopar chasis book that had CG location information, but that book is buried in storage.

Also, for those with a cuda vert, need same info.  I assume that the vert has a slightly lower cg due to the lack of roof structure and added bracing in the rockers?  Want to modify the brackets one time.

Thanks

I used the upper bodyline for reference. Front and rear rotated on the centre of that line.  With doors and glass it was perfect, but the empty shell wanted to go floor down.  My guess is the rotationpoint has to be 2,5- 3 inches below the bodyline.

On a built car is it approximately around the rear of the engine block at camshaft height. Not sure on just the unibody.

On my totally stripped Challenger the front CG was 5.25" up from center of front bumper mount bolts. Or, from the radiator support it would be about 15.5" down.  The rear would  be about 6" up from the center of the rear bumper bolts or 5.5" down from the center of the gas filler opening. It is lower than it looks like it would be.  I have no experience with convertables.  PK

Ok, I found a previous post about where the center of gravity was on my Challenger.  PK
