Since my early morning burnout in the dirt, I've decided to stay off the asphalt with the mustang. We've decided to park momma's '79 corvette at the asphalt part of the road (go to work, shopping, etc.).

What humonguous spool or total lock-up rear end would you recommend for the 5.0, since I've got the urge to ridge run, with some ocassional circle track and rum running?

P.S.: would you recommend that I rebuild my posi track?

Are you in agreement that some folks just don't get it?

don't use a spool or weld them remember you still have to turn on the ridge...I would rebuild the posi like 50.00..take one or 2 of the best clutches from the old set and inset them in the new but no side by side space them out is using 2..this will tighten it up as close to a spool as you can get and can turn normal just like stock..make sure you use 4oz bottle of the friction modifer
