Track and Wheelbase definition?
Can anyone out there refer me to the technical definition for wheelbase and track? In other words, what do you actually measure to get a reading for each?
I assume that wheelbase is the center of the king pin to the center of the rear axle.
But where do you measure track? Flange to flange? Or is it center of the contact patch to the center of the other contact patch? etc. etc.
Small block Cobras were quoted ("back in the day") as being 51.5" track front and 52.5" rear. What were they measuring?
