    How do you guys fit a tire with 275+ width on the rear?

    If you are wanting a 10" wheel, you better make sure you stick with stock length axles or you will never clear them. I assume 10" is what you are calling deep dish. If you use factory length axles you will still more than likely have to remove your quad-shocks. Then to keep from rearend hop...

    5.0 Died at 10mph

    First thing that comes to mind here is possibly the fuel pump.........When you get in the car and turn it to the on position, without cranking it, just before it cranks, can you hear a humming noise in the rear of the car. The pump is located in the tank so you will have to lean your ear toward...

    pics of relocated battery

    I forgot to mention that I am doing this without adding the cut-off switch, just to get the weight in the trunk, not for the track. What do I need to do different just to hook things without the cut-off?

    Undercoating My Car

    I have just recently spent much attention to the underside of my car. I went to a local speedshop that primarily restores older model vettes. The guy that does all the body work there told me to use epoxy primer (black). It comes in several colors but black is most desirable for this...

    I am putting 94-98 gt rear disc on my 93 and cannot find anywhere to buy correct stainless steel braided hoses coming off the calipers or banjo bolts to bolt the line on. Any help, part numbers, etc. I am willing to put rubber hoses if that is all I can do.

    What is IT???

    I just completely rebuilt my rearend after taking it apart too many times to count. I was wondering though what the big chuck of metal is, that hangs from the rearend, underneath the pumpkin and is mounted in rubber? Can I leave this off or does it have to be on there?

    anyone ever replace inner pinion bearing races in housing

    The pinion will have to come out to get the race out. and I am sure you know that the carrier has to come out for that. Other than that, you can do it with the rear end in the car. Just get everything apart and use a punch from the front side where the pinion shaft comes through the housing...
