Drag/Center link position
I'm an F-Body newbie and I wasn't paying attention. My oh so bad...

When looking underneath the car from the front, should the drag-link be in front of the tie-rods or behind them?

In front. Check the 101 sticky above for a pic.

Re: Drag/Center link position
I want a 700 hp street car that gets 30 mpg and I don't want to use a big block

We see all the newbie questions.

The ones I really hate are the complete, no mechanical knowledge questions that always seem to pop up.

I know very little about cars, how to I rebuild my diff, tranny, engine etc? I always want to respond to questions like that with "The instructions are right beside that home dentistry book you bought last year".
