Today I bought 8 new NGK TR-55s for the bird’. Summit had them listed for $2.69, yet Advance had them for $1.99. With my discount they came to $1.71/piece so I couldnt beat that. Also picked up 2 Qts of Royal Purple 75w90 Gear Oil for the rearend. Probably do that shit sometime this week after work.

A torque arm will be in the future for sure. Definitely a Crossmember mounted Torque Arm, which I have on my 86’ with a TH400. Most likely a UMI one tho. I have a full UMI Suspension on the turdgen I have. I thought about taking the front sway bar out the next time I run. Supposed to be better 60ft times, and a slight bit of weight off the front end.
