New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #135 – March 04, 2012, 05:42:49 PM Running good. Going back to the ler shop tomorrow to patch my exhaust since I had to cut it to get the trans out. Also they welded in O2 bungs but the plugs they screwed n won't come out do I can thread my sensors in. I'll have them fix that too.I also swapped the rear springs from a fox cougar and it sits about level now.How I modified the crossmember:Controller showing trans temp: Quote Selected

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #140 – March 05, 2012, 11:00:34 AM Sure did. It's only a 1-3/4" hole and the carpet is getting replaced anyways. Only temporary until I figured out the column linkages. Quote Selected

New daily = 79 4dr Fairmont Reply #146 – March 12, 2012, 01:43:36 PM Picked up an 8.8" the other day and decided I would swap out the carrier and gears. This particular rear had 3.27 gears. Felt pretty tight, too.I've got 3.55's and a 4-clutch packed carrier to go back in. Quote Selected
