Good deal! I wish there were more LTx cars in my area, even more Fbodies, would be great too.

We will be looking at Mikes car after lunch to see what happened.

The T/A has 1/2 studs and a Moser 9".

PT4400 is going in before Friday and more testing this Sat.

That sucks tony broke. I saw him when he finally got there with a broken quick disconnect on the fuel line so it didn't start out well either for him. Hope he made it home alright.
