How can I get a template to this mod? I emailed Guldstrand but got no response. How much grinding is necessary eith stock control arms. Thanks

Some good info as always from Dave's web site. www.pozziracing.com (http://www.pozziracing.com)
Hear is the template but you need to follow the directions on Dave's site to print.
GULDSTRAND MOD TEMPLATE

If you print this template out, it most certainly will NOT be exactly the correct size. Right click and select save, then you can try printing it out.
My measurements off my template are lower ft bolt 1.060" lower rear bolt .775" To measure, draw a line through the top hole centers, the cross hairs are accurate reference points, the circles are a bit off center so don't use them. Measure down from this line. The lower holes are also offset 1/4" to the rear to increase positive caster adjustment. My template was acquired by me when I visited Guldstrand sometime around 1973, I talked to an engineer there who said they developed this template for Penske. My version shows some alternate holes that were tried, these holes were higher and lower than this "final" version.
NOTE Chicane67 was an employee of Guldstrand Ent and says his hole lowering measurements are: F .875" R .775"
I used to have a link to a Pro-Touring.com web discussion on this topic, but I found out the dimensions I posted there were wrong. The dimensions posted here are from my template.
All I can say is, I used the top measurements and they worked well on my 67 Camaro.
This is the template, "the Guldstrand Mod" that is used to improve the front suspension geometry. The Camaro front susupension has too low a front roll center, and almost no negaitve camber gain in bump. If you do this modification to your Camaro, make shure you trim the bottom of the first thick alignment shim you place on the rear bolt. The A frame mount face changes angle and the shim will hit and prevent the upper shaft from properly seating on the mount.
In addition, if you use stock upper A arms, the upper part of the mount must be trimmed off to about the height of the holes to allow enough clearance. The mount braces will also need to be trimmed or the A arm will hit in the middle.

If you use tubular upper A arms, the mount does not need to be trimmed near the holes, the braces may, or may not, not need trimming.

Thanks I've been on David's site many times, I must have missed the template there :thumbsup:

Pozzi's site is great. I have the template downloaded and have fixed it so that the new bolt holes are 6.5 inches apart. Is this correct? I used the paint program on my computer and I was able to resize it. It took awhile, but it's there and ready to be done. I would just like to confirm that the 6.5 inches is correct for the new holes.
I called Guldstrand and ordered the template, but they have forgotten about me. I guess they lose the $15. John, there are also some articles on David's website that have the instructions on doing the mod. That was the real reason I ordered the template, so I could get instructions. I'm looking forward to doing this when I replace the coil springs. My wife loves me.... all sorts of neat things for the Camaro. Or does she love the Camaro? Either way I am a lucky man!!

You lucky SOB!!

"My wife loves me".

The last thing my wife said about my car was that it would never move on it's own again!

It may not, but it will leave on a trailer the next time I leave!

All I do to print the template out is change my printer settings to slightly above or below 100% until I get 6.5" hole to hole.

David, that is for the new holes, correct?

both sets of holes should be the same. The control arm shaft isn't changing size just location.

Yeah, doesn't hat make sense!! I just wanted to make sure before I go drilling into this thing. Heck, if I had to do it again, I would just tell everyone I did it for reduced weight!!
Thanks Harley
