are you seriously trying to tell him that he doesn't need the vaccume hose going from his intake manifold/carb to his distributerQuote:

agreed but do you think either one of them understand what ignition advance does or is, let alone be able to set mechanical advance or should i even say it........ computer controlled advanceQuote:

Alright looking at 35spl shiat I like drive slugs for the strength, but they suck on the road with an always locked front end. I know I can get them with the slug eliminator. How many of you all running slugs have the eliminators? If so do you ever remove them or is it just to much of a pita?
i heard that the fit fing tight! and its kinda a pita o get them out
What locker do you have up front? With my detroit up front, I don't have any problems w/ the slugs in. The only thing I have run into is that the driveshaft is always turning and since it had a pretty good dent/bend it would vibrate a bit and had a knock to it somewhere. If you are going to run a spool/lincoln locker then it may not be so good for you on the pavement. I got pretty good at pulling the slugs, and just takes someone to rock the truck to get them to slide out sometimes (that and keep a little grease on them when you put them in to keep from sticking).Quote:

you thought i was serious?Quote:

I will have a pol-laka at both ends, is there any other way?:gigem:
I now don't really know why I asked that question I had the same setup in the waggie abortion.
Ed yes the elminator allows you to pull the slug but still keep the cap on the hub. That style runs about 50 bones more.
Do you have a link to the eliminators? I want to see how you pull them and if it would be easier than the 4 allen bolts and the snap ring.
It works the same and you still have to remove all the parts it just simply allows use of the cap minus the slug.
Like so

the 203 was used with the 60 in some 80s model chevy truck. thats what the truck that i got my 60/70 combo had in it. it had a th400 in front of it
It wasnt stock...Quote:

Not only no but hell no.
it wasnt a transplant. im sure of it
Mk, the reason 400/203 combos are so hard to find is deffinately not because they were only ever used for TWO years (77-78) in 3/4 tons.
I've got one of those at home!Quote:
