Just figured out why my times were not as good as I liked. I have gears but I still have the V6 7.5 rear. I was the 14.2 @ 96 one wheel wonder this weekend. Can anyone give a link on how to install a traction lock assembly? I tried to search but had no luck.
I would go get a Chilton's manual. My Dad and I used the actual Ford manual for my car, that was really detailed. Plus you'll have that book if you have to fix anything else.
Picked up my t-lock from UPS yesterday fresh from Ford through Gefracing. I called around but most shops down here in retirement city don't even know what I'm talking about. Found someone that knew what he was talking about with experience and quoted 100-150 install with new bearings. Can't wait to get both wheels gripping to see my time in the quarter. Cant get it done until 3-4 weeks from now since he is booked all next week, so I'll just have to wait.
I've read that the others are stronger and able to withstand increased horse power. My 7.5 inch is supposed to be good up to 300 hp. I'm right on the limits so it may not hold out long and then I'll have to go for an 8.8in. I was thinking about going for the IRS cobra rear. I know T-birds have IRS and there are a ton of them at the junk yards so I was going to look into a T-bird swap if it can be done.
