fresnos. They quoted me $45 for each half shaft +$10 core exchange. What
they had already pulled from various cars didn't look much better than mine
(except my CV boots have rips and are leaking). I took a look around

I was about to send you that very pdf, Russ. Kinda looks like the
real deal if you can source it. I for one would like to be kept
posted on what you can find. Have yet to find any sort of data sheet
that might list fluids compatibility but I suspect it'd be ok.

I've also heard you can go to a junk yard with your 609 and buy their reclaimed

No Idea what that would cost or how you would do it.

Thanks Jim,
That seams to have worked although I did get a double backfire through both
carburators. Could that be from beeing too advanced?
Thanks again
