The edelbrock torque arm works great... I have that installed on my car. The only reason to get one of the other ones is if your car is lowered. Then you need an adjustable one so you can reset your pinion angle correctly.

You know, it's kinda too bad nobody makes a replacement
torque arm mount that is repositionable, to you could adjust
the pinion angle there and use a simple fixed arm.
In fact I bet this could be a drilled steel plate... 1" and 1.5"
offset higher hole pairs to match the common spring drops,
put the bolts in whichever you want, and use your regular
mount?
Anybody ever rig it this way? Possible/sensible?

I have the sophn torque arm that mounts to the frame crossmember they supply. Ya it took all the stress off the tranny but is sure is loud and makes alot of clicking and clunking noises. I have tried to tighten it and grease it but the noise always comes back. It is a very nice TA and hooks up really well and does its job, but in stop and go traffic it is very annoying.
If i were to buy again i would buy the one that goes to the tranny with a poly u. bushing, i think the one i have is for cars running 11's and lower.
02 35th annv. SS w/lots of bolt on's

All of them should work, its not the torque arm that has the problem. Its either the DS saftey loop, or the mounting points for the Torque arm if you get one that no longer mounts to the back of the tranny

So I just installed the Random Technology adjustable torque arm that mounts to the back of the tranny with a poly mount...since then, I've noticed a couple new vibrations and clunks...the clunks annoy me the most. Anybody else get the same thing? I'm getting ready to make a trip from seattle to ohio and back in a couple weeks...I think I'm gonna just put it back to stock till i get back.
