I agree here with Adam. You can also get a device that takes the place of the spiders that works just like a locking differential. It's called a lock right and you don't have to disassemble the carrier to put it in. Around $400 if I remember right and you can get it at summit.

Holy Chit another reason I asked is because i found a Posi GN rear with 3.42s for 100 bucks. I was looking to see what me and a friend could do with it. he wants to go turbo on his cutlass, but cant get there so Im helping him.

Ill look into that device. Would it be okay to use on the street? the regal used to be a DD, but not anymore.

I know everyone is going to say junk, but a spool is not reasonable for the street. a posi rear end for $100 is a deal. is it a 8.5 rear?

They usually crack from installation Jase, not use. You either had them cracked when you got them or did it while putting them in.

Well I use spark plug sockets with the rubber inserts... but I did put them in a little tight.

u use a little grease when I put in plugs it helps a bit. plug 6 on the t-type engine is a bit*h to say the least. I had to take off the up and down pipe to get to it and still wasnt succesful.

While the pipes were up though i could see inside the turbo, it looked pretty good, lots of carbon build up though. some new up and down pipes wouldnt hurt the car at all either.

Hey, that`s a good idea... never thought to do that. They do get rusty and it gets harder to get them lose.

yaay i was finally usefull.... dont use to much or you might as well get a new plug. Lots of weather changes are hell on motor parts in these places, we gotta adapt. Im tempted to find a block heater for our cars incase we need em.

I will have to do that, never had a huge problem with then seizing, but I have worked on plenty of other peoples cars, where they haven't changed their plugs in a longtime or ever the plugs wont budge and they always seem to be in a tight spot too

Been through this several times Jase. Last one was a couple of months ago. Took me an hour to get one stinking plug out. Not fun at all and it solved his problem for a while and then he blew a head gasket.
