The best one I've had over the years is that thicker one PY used to sell that nytrainer showed above.

The 33 spine TrueTrac is $35 more than a 30 spline ($510 vs $475).

Just to follow up, I've been feeling some slippage with the 8.2 under power lately which accelerated my hunt for a new rear diff. I came up dry regarding reasonably priced 8.5 or 12 bolt cores...

I've been really happy with the Eastwood manifold coating in spray cans. It lasted longer than the powder coating I had done and is easy to touch up if you need to.

If the repros are close, I can use one as a reference. However, typically the fonts, spacing and sizes wrong which is why I started this project. Let me check around and see what I can come up with....

The Wittek tower clamps are pretty finicky. I do a little prep to them before I install and I'm super careful when I clamp them down usually using vice grips to keep them straight. Even then I always...

Pads are brand new. Bearings are new. There's no play in the rotor.
