    There is a company called Randy's Differentials, or something similiar, out in the Northwest and they are very helpful on the phone. Look up their website and call them.

    Can someone give me a very brief description of how to install one of these? I assume I use my existing gears, or do I? I keep hearing "so easy to install, in minutes, with garden tools, etc" but I cannot find actual instructions, even from Richmond's website. I even downloaded and printed a 40 page "description" but it really doesn't describe installation.

    Also, my current gearing is 2.79. I have mostly stock 302 (with new intake, 600cfm Edelbrock) and I have difficulty keeping the stock tires on the ground. These things will break loose with any acceleration. Do I need to move toward 4.11, or can I live with 2.79? I want to keep fuel economy high and RPMs low for highway driving, and I only drag once in a while to evaluate improvements to the car. I eventually plan to get approximately 500 hp after boring, stroking, NOS, possibly blower, but currently have only 180 or so. Any suggestions? I read that I can keep any gearing and add the Powertrax to it, as it installs within the gears, not in replacement to them. Thererfore, I can replace the gears and keep the locker.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
