so i started taking it apart but i said let me do all my measuring first

it was reading the back lash of .14
got my new posi in

measured in at .13 which is great! but my problem was i cant get the pinion bearing off to shim the bearing up more because its not giving me what i want to see on the gear marking. so i ordered some tools i hope to get it so next weekend i can do it over the small mini vacation i have .
also i went to get my swap for the chevelle
lqx motor not sure which one i have tho lq9 or lq4 yet i will search to figure it out


my trans 4l80e!


o the fun is about to begin!

After 2 years of my sw gauges being in the car I finally hooked up the lights and after that I was feelin ambitious so I grabbed my autometer sport comp tach and put it in. Only sat in my box for 4 years. Friend called when I was Doin it and called me a lire. So I snapped pics and sent em

Suspension is next for me. I bought hotchkis a arms and rear links almost 3 years ago and haven't got around to putting em on because I couldn't figure out my wheel/tire and ride height I wanted but I think I made up my mind.....I think, give me another year and ill know for sure. Lol

You are going to love the Hotchkis system. My car handles so much better.
