Found Source of KR? I got the car up in the air today & I think I found it. When we were coming back from the PE last year I ran over a rock in the road. It smashed my DSL up against my y-pipe. So I KNOW that is rattling. I'll bend that 
& then while I wait for wheel studs see what else I can find. Hopefully this is it.....

Don't forget to look closely at that rub mark I saw between your LS cat and the car body. It really looked like recent contact to me ? I guess once you fix the DSL, a quick logging run will tell you for sure.

thats good mark, i had a felling it was something after you pulled timming the first time. Where did you guys get your wheel screws? looking over the car today and found i spun the wheels in the tires on the dyno, they spun past my mark about halfway around the wheel

Your tires spun HALFWAY around the wheel? Damn Jason, were you trying to take Ellis out? Regarding screws I just went to Home Depot & bought what you'd get from Summit.....a pkg of 3/4" #8 stainless steel screws.

Now, about those wheel studs....bad news, Jegs is out of stock too! But the good news is, those aren't the ones I need after all. I pulled a wheel off & mine are the stock size (duh) so I need the 7/16" press-in style studs. Those they have. But, I have no hole / slot in my ABS reluctor ring, so it looks like I get to take the axles someplace to have the studs installed. Dang, can just one thing be easy on this car?
SO, is there something I should know about pulling an axle on a Moser 9"? It looks like the standard pumpkin style rear end.....unbolt the 4 bolts that hold the axle to the backing plate & pop it out, correct? (after removing the e-brake) All I need now is an axle puller.

Thanks Jason, going good so far. No need for an axle puller, they just popped right out (well, 1 has so far). Now I need my studs.....and a trip to Randy's to get them pressed off / on.
You & Jason need to call LM & talk to Mike about Sat. He has a couple other cars dynoing, so you'll need to schedule a time. No disks yet....

I will have to swing by & watch you guys. Note - there is a BIG Ford stroker coming from Spokane in the morning to dyno.
Got my axles out (had to use the pry bar on the dr side) & the correct studs ordered. Randys Off-road will press them in when they get here (& replace the bearings....required). Now, back to moving the exhaust around.

WHAT? You mean I ordered the wrong ones? Dang it, the 7/16 20 tap fit the lug nuts....well, 3-4 turns anyway. I shoulda known the stock ones were metric. 
Funny, I haven't seen those listed anywhere. You'd think one of our sponsors would carry them.......
Er, um, uh....yessiree-bob, there they are at Thunder Racing. I'm an idiot!!!
I will be getting 2 pkgs from Tbyrne when he gets some in. In the meantime I'll come get yours so I can get my car ready for the races.....
And if anyone needs some ARP studs that fit 'most GM products with disk brakes', I will have 10 in stock shortly.
