lol with the stock TH200 and stock 7.5 rear end...you would see alot more than a burnout......you would see my rear end fall apart i bet.. haha
Oh it can take it. Its traction, big power, and shock loads that kill 7.5s. Peg leg burnouts if anything are good for it. :p

And he wonders why it blew up twice!
Twice?
Also, this was almost two years ago. :p
And it wasn't even that much rpm. 4500. Highest rpm i've ever had the current motor actually is only about 5200 at eddyville. with the 2.41s i left it in 1st gear the whole 1/8th. :D

So im on to getting the lights situated. I replaced all the bulbs in the taillights and cleaned out the bulb housing The bulb housing was full of old corroded hard grease or whatever they had in there. I put new bulb grease to stop corrosion

Moved onto the headlights to remove and install my new upgrade kit from mikes montes and of course everything was rotted. The adjustment screws were all stripped. The clips for them were dry rotted and broken he springs were all broke and the bulb housing things were rusted and broken


Mikes montes has the springs, clips and screws

I will try to restore the bulb rings but need to source new housing things

I plan on waiting to upgrade the bezels woth new ones until i do bodywork and paint which wont be this year

Heres some pics of what i found

I'm sure you will be able to find some headlight buckets either from a member here, in a local salvage or on eBay.

Edit, Mike's Montes also sells used parts but I don't know if the headlight buckets interchange between the Regal and the Monte.

Other than the screws and springs i didnt see anything on mikes as far as the buckets go. I will be posting in the wanted section here as well as checking ebay until i find them
