Never had a rear end leave me like that.

B&M Conveter plus 9Psi of boost and a healthy 1-2 shift equaled ripping the center hub out of the B&M POS. Hence the tow home. Got it to the shop at around 5pm Feb 14th 1999. Drove it home at 8pm.

No Steph was not impressed missing her Valitine Dinner for a Conveter swap and transmission cleaning
