I can put a new set of OEM bolts in and be 100% safe, and right on the money size wise. How many turbo guys have broken a rod bolt?? Not very many I bet. I'm trying to find out if anyone actually did put in a set of ARP's with out resizing and had no problems? THANKS for the input and lets hear...

I bought a posi carrier to put in my 84T while I am going through engine. I think its a Eaton? It is suppose to be the factory set up. What I want to know is where to buy the clutch pack? I figure its best to replace them before I put it in the car. Please don't tell me not to use it and buy...
Please read my post in the wheels section on fixing 84 T-Type wheels. I am not getting any help and very little traffic in that section.. THANKS.. mike aka- V SICKS
