Default wheel hopping problem

i have a 1970 nova and i have a big wheel hope problem. i know this isn't the right forum but i thought maybe yall could help me.

it is basicly stock. 350 engine, 4 spd trans and a positive traction rear and multi leaf springs and air shocks.

this problem started after i swapped the transmission from a automatic to a 4spd.

if the pinion angle is off to much will it cause wheel hop because it seemed like when we installed the 4spd the transsmission sat up higher than the automatic.

any help will be greatly appriceated.

I believe spring wrap is the major cause of wheel hop in the early nova's usually even a cheap set of slapper bars is a big help.
