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.

I posted that pic because that's what I thought, but didn't want to tell the seller that in case I was mistaken. Thanks.

Found this on Facebook Marketplace. Perch mounts 44 inches center to center, and has an open carrier. The diff came out of a '69 Coronet. Owner is unsure what gear set is installed. $200

Since my last post on this thread, I did send the car back to the shop that finished the work and had the linkage corrected. It was indeed set up the way it would be installed in a GM product, on a Mopar, it's basically backwards, but now my transmission shifts much better and now the kickdown...

Sorry for your loss. Never an easy time, but even harder during the holidays.

Did they give a reason why on the zinc? I thought only the pre-85 model years would need it.

That’s where I was beginning to think the problem was after moving the rod to what the correct location would be at the throttle body. When the shifts became even more out of whack, with first shifting to 2nd at 35mph, I turned the car around and headed back to storage. The car is too low to the...

Well, Merry Christmas to everyone! I did try moving the throttle rod to the correct spot on my throttle body and that really made it worse, with first shifting to second at 35 mph, so I turned around and headed back to the storage unit and put everything back to the original spot since I got the...

Merry Christmas and happy birthday! I hope they get your car back on the road asap.

Merry Christmas!

I was just 13 at that time lol but wow, better days back then. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what can be done and keep this and the Lokar stuff in mind. One way or another we'll get it figured out, I'm just glad there's options.
