Default Update

Ok, So my buddy Mark was over yesterday and he was adjusting the valves on the car. Found out that the rack on the car is stripped out. I will now have to buy a new rack. Something I wasn't counting on. Going to be awile before the car comes out.

What is stripped? All of the parts on those racks are able to be replaced. If you can't do that....

I am getting ready to pull a brand new rack off my car next week. It was on my car for 2 passes and the ride home from Atlanta. If Sheppard doesn't want it back for another car, I will sell it to you for cheap.

I am guessing a Flaming River Rack or.... Will it fit a 93'?

I appreciate it. But too much of a hassle. Rather just wait and do it one time.

Not exactly sure. It is not slipping on the shaft. It is internal. Looks to be a stock unit.

Wes I am thinking yours will not work. Flaming river shows a different rack for 94-04. Do you have ant in site.

Not sure. I don't really see what the differences would be. As far as i knew, they made the one that is on my car and a pinto rack, that's it.
