well...driveline shopped called this morning....case is screwed up...so that ends that adventure for now...LOL...one of the caps will not seat...you can see daylight threw it...went and picked up the parts ..no charge...they had everything done and was trying to set the backlash......But I got another 489 case...going to give it to a friend who set up the local stocker guys 8 3/4. Yeah..I got the pinion depth tool also...have not tried to do one yet...only had the tool about 15 yrs...will use it some day...LOL
yeah tethers....what a joke...60 bucks for 10 dollars worth of parts..but you need that approved tag ...LOL....yes I modified mind tonight also....as the headers both TTI and hookers have fully welded on collectors...but gotta tether the 10 inch extension that bolts onto the collector....I originally was going to tether the extension to one of the primary tubes...but that turned into a great PIA as trying to find a place on the primary tube you can the clamp around....so I am tethering the welded collector to the extension......what gets me ...is the Tech inspector going to actually check to see if the clamps are tight and installed correctly or...just look for the tag.....if they are looking just for the tag then the tether is no better then the 3 bolts that hold the extension on....rant done..
