Could anyone tell me what will happen if i removed that block that is on the leaf spring,And will that make my car sway or move around at the track

Removing the block will raise the rear up and sway should be lessened due to less leverage.

Somehow I don't think he is refering to a lowering block, but if he was, and removed it there by raising the car, that would increase sway.

I think he is talking about a small, maybe 3"x3", metal block that is attached to some mono leaf spring cars of that era. If I recall correctly, it is mounted midpoint between the axle and front of the spring. Seems to serve no purpose, but GM must have put it there for a reason, perhaps spring dampening of some sort.

Anyone know about that block?

Never seen one on a Camaro, so maybe the Nova site can better answer your question.

I just pulled one of my spring assy's off, and there was a tapered, bronze-looking block between the springs and the perch. I figured it was for pinion angle?...is that what you're referring to?

Yes, can you post a pic or measurements ?

Hopefully this link will work:

OK. Thats just a shim (to change pinion angle)... Not a block like I thought there would be. Lowering blocks are usually 2" tall or more.
