Weight question - '69 Coupe

[Evans, Marv]

I've asked a couple of people & thought I'd post it on the tech board too. I'm indexing the swing arms on my '69 coupe again & have to recalculate the angle. The weight of the car (stock) is listed at 2,250 lbs. I stripped out all of the AC, won't be using a spare tire, an will run a 2.7L w/ webbers & a '74 915, and '83 seats. Maybe it's too close to worry about, but last time I used an even 2,200 lbs. to calculate the swing arm angle. Anybody have any closer estimates or is 2,200 lbs. probably OK? ThanX.

Stock torsion bars? If you are not in a great hurry, source some SC or Carrera arms that are adjustable. Will save you many gray hairs.

2200lb should be OK.

I'll be using the angle calculator. I have 24.1 torsion bars & adjustable spring plates, so I only need to get as close of an estimate as I can of the weight of the car as it will be set up with the changes I mentioned. ThanX.

The 69E is 2250 but MFI and AC and the spare will compensate heavier 915 60lbs you should be ok 2200lbs you took off heavy stuff off rear end.

Yep, maybe I'm splitting hairs. I think I'll just go with the 2,200 lbs. again. When I removed the AC, I was surprised at how much the whole thing weighed. Thanks.

At 2250 69E had MFI that a lot weight too
