It was the last one as far as I could tell on E-Bay. Should be here tomorrow and hopefully the driveshaft will be back from getting cut.

Fortunately, I lucked out and found one on E-bay and bought it last night.

My bad, it's a fault of mine when I let myself get in a hurry for information and try to do so on my breaks at work at 15 minutes every couple hours. I thank you for your reply.

Different from the old ones for sure, I thought maybe the length was excessive, but that's not a big deal to me as long as everything works the way it should. They called me in about the driveshaft and I told them it needs to be cut and balanced to fit, so they're sending it out. Looks like...

Just about done. Sending the driveshaft out to be cut.

I’m needing that same gear, but they’re out of stock. Does the adapter they sell allow the gear with the longer rod to work, and is it plug and play? I apologize if this was already discussed elsewhere, I’m at work and don’t have much time on break to check.

I know 2 years ago neither I, nor the shop that was working on my car could find any Y-pipes, but an exhaust shop can cut one based on the one in your car if it's still available.

The shop I'm having upgrade the rear end on my car initially ordered springs from General Spring back in late April or early May, and after leaving calls and emails for an ETA that went unanswered, I offered to order from Firm Feel if I could get a time frame on when they'd ship out or arrive...

Got that replaced and the rear view mirror put back in place. New insulation looks so much nicer under the hood.

I ordered the hood insulation from Collector's Auto Supply and would like to replace it today, if possible. Has anyone done this before? I need to know which tabs I should get to mount it to the hood. I've never replaced the insulation on these before.

Thank you for clearing that up.

From what I've read I was under the impression I'd have to settle for the 10's from the 7 1/4 since. He already had everything in shop so I won't bother him about it at this point. We were just waiting on the leaf springs and that was it for the back.

So I'm having my 8 1/4 installed next week and the shop doing the work will use the backing plates off the 7 1/4. The backing plates on my 88 7 1/4 can utilize either the 10in or 11in brakes? If that's the case I'll keep that in mind the next time I need the rear brakes replaced and go with the...

I remember your posting about that before and that was when I decided to go for the 3.21's. I think it'll be a sweet cruiser with that gear set and the Sniper. I have about 400 miles to go before that gets fine tuned.

I've had mine at the shop to have the whole backend redone since the rear brakes weren't working well. Mine has the 3.21 ratio. He's just trying to get the leaf springs now. I almost went for the 3.07 gears.
