What type of spindle are you going to use? There are kits out there now that allow you to use the stock spindle. Check with In Line Tube they had a nice set up at the super Chevy show at MIR.   -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Larr

Title: RE: [Chevelle-list] My specs, was: $ 12 bolt posi rear It's not that you have to adjust them often, it's just a lot more time consuming when you do.  Since the adjusting nut is on the end of the rocker vs being on the stud, the engine can't be running while you make the adjustments.
