I gotta find a mullet wig before the cruise... haha And no, it's not a one wheel wonder, the stock 7.5 rear axle is fully locked up. I'm not sure how since I haven't pulled the diff cover yet, but I would assume it's probably welded, or has a spool.

I hope it's not welded like your 240 was.

If it is, I don't really give a shit as long as the welds don't break. I'm sure this diff will explode the first time I lay on it hard and actually hook up anyways. At that time I'll replace it with an 8.8 rear end from an Explorer.

Good choice, be sure to get one with disk brakes,

You can even find one with a LSD from the factory

Thats what I am going to use in my S-10

I might eventually, I'm not really expecting anything spectacular though. And yes, I'll be looking for a rear axle with the disc brakes and trac lock diff.

So the pickup coils in the crappy stock Ford distributor (basically the cam sensor) went out, so it's just kinda throwing spark whenever it feels like it. I had a bit of a "well, fuck it" moment and stopped by TNT Race Shop and ordered up a MSD ignition setup. Pro-billet distributor, 6AL ignition box, Blaster 2 coil, Superconductor wires, and NGK V-Power plugs.
