Hi RRR People, Got a little question which I think is pretty easy for you to answere :) I have lowered my Olds with 3" (wanna go to 4" eventually) Blocks in the Rear and now, of course, my driveshaft has a different angle now. I've learned that there exist some "Axle Shims" to regulate that...

Hi, the Speedometer in my Super 88 is not working so the first thing i did was checking the speedometer cable but it was ok... This morning I removed the speedo to check if the inside is ok... If I turn the side where the cable goes in, the needle should move but the copper coloured wire does...
