Lots of different ones on Summits/Jeg's websites. Here is an example: Timing Tab

Patiently waiting for the brown Santa to show up! I don't work today, so the waiting is KILLING me! Can't really start on anything until I get this shipment and another one that should be here next week, so I've just been cruising the board all day. And I don't wanna go anywhere until he shows up, b/c although they usually leave stuff on my front porch, who's to say they will this time.

i need to c-notch the frame bc its sitting on axle bump stops. lol guess thats what u get with 7 1/2 inches of drop.

here are some pics of stuff i picked up at the swap meet last weekend, first off wanted to get some rallys to ride on for now. i found some the guy told me that they were 5x5 lug pattern. i should have measured bc the are 5x4 3/4. lol so now i got wheels that dont fit. gotta try to sell them now.heres pics.

and i also picked up this cool gauge cluster. this guy said yea it all works. and my luck the tach doesnt and not all the dash lights do either. so now i need a new tach. and circuit board. lol i had good luck last weekend. i also got a complete just like new wiring harness for under the dash for $29 one good thing that i got. lol heres picks of old and new.
