I have a set of stock 4-speed frame braces on there now. Maybe at some point I'll upgrade to the Global West version. I was looking at the spherical bushings for the housing ears, but wasn't sure...

I watched those videos the other day which is what got me thinking about spherical joints.

I just ordered the TBC-82 and TBC-4 control arms from Global West. Gonna have to plan for a really nice...

I hadn't considered the ride height change. My car has 1" drop springs so maybe there's an opportunity to better dial in the angle. Admittedly, I'm getting caught up trying to pinch pennies after...

Appreciate the input so far.

Are the spherical bearings that Global West uses the same or similar as the "Roto Joint" that UMI uses? Just wondering if it's a brand name thing.

After doing some...

What's the advantage of Del-alum over polyurethane? Less squeaking and binding? I suspect the rear suspension in my car is binding over bumps because it feels very rigid over bumps. I could probably...

Global West Rear Suspension Upgrades

I'll be swapping in a new Moser 12 bolt soon and it got me thinking about the rear control arms and bushings since I'll have it apart. I've never been in love with the polyurethane bushings back...

Got up at the crack of dawn and headed over to a show in Benicia, CA. Pretty good showing of Pontiacs. Every time I go to one of these big shows where you're locked in all day, I'm reminded me why I...

I suppose I’ve been lucky, too. I’ve been running various Pertronix units for 15 years without issue. Now that I said that, I’ll need a tow tomorrow. I did have a Unilite conversion blow apart on me...

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

I also have a 9.5" TSP converter Cliff specced for me behind the stroker in my GTO. Similar hp and torque output to you, but I have a 3.55 rear. I like it a lot - it generally lives around 2k-2200 in...

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

The cost to go from 30 spline to 33 spine was $35 so it seemed like a no brainer. I waffled over 1310 vs 1350 but figured bigger is better. I'll run a 3R/1350 conversion u-joint in the interim. At...

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.
