Finally got a good run in. Forgot that I had plastic hub carriers, thought I was done bashing the wallet for now but guess not. Went to DetroitPerformance for a replacement.

BTW that smoke is from using too much MMO and Seafoam inside of the cylinder. I was running rich for too long and it built up a bit a carbon on the piston. Im surprised how well it actually cleaned it out considering ive been using it for years and never had this good of a result.
 
Ok found my first real issue. After installation I noticed the upper a arms don't align with the hubs anymore. Was thinking this may be due to needing a 0 degree angle which I thought wasn't necessary but before I end up buying that stuff, the hubs don't need special upper a-arms?

Im gunna say something is backwards there whether it be upside down or just on the wrong side
Hold the original arm up against the new one and see if there are any obvious differences.

If no difference then you’ve fcuked up somewhere, if there is problem solved. There can always be issues with mixing different manufactured aftermarket parts. But that’s part of the fun modding them to fit and work together, for me anyways.
 
So I think if the 0 degree angle plate doesn't work ill have to force it into place. It's a bit rough but it does feel like it will work smoothly. Aside from that I did get the kold kutters and can't wait to try em out, was not liking the slipping and sliding last run, new body n sheet.

so I figured out how to get it to work. It was sloppy until I just started putting parts on. Probably will try out a different angle to see if it works better but the 0 degree angle holds it nicely together.
Was gifted springs and was wondering what brand they were from. Never seen em before, Want to find out info on the tensions of each color.

*edit~ those limit straps were a pain in the ass to install. Got it right after the 8th try.
