Spring plate angle calculator

Using elephant racings spring plate angle calculator to set on a 72T
One of the data points is car weight.
A T is 2315 pounds.
Should i add gas and body weight?

Somewhere around you is a weigh station. They are usually closed Sunday so you can drive over for free. Otherwise find a truck stop with a CAT scale and pay them to use. My guess is 2315 is with no persons and low fuel.

My 1973T measured empty weight is 2330lbs, but it has fiberglass front fenders. With steel fenders, about 2350lbs. Don't worry about plus or minus 50 lbs of weight for your calculations.
