Back in the 70s, before the great tires and tracks we have now, my Dad still had an 8.75 in his super stocker. Car was an NHRA, SS/GA record holder, so it had good parts and ran fast at the time. When we went to a national Event or division race a ways off, he carried 4 center sections. Precision machined cases, low drag bearings, Dura-Surf treated ring and pinions, billet caps, back braced, the whole show and as good as you could get at the time. Broke them like clockwork and it was NOT because they were not set up right.

After a while you really tire of changing centers and losing rounds. Put a junkyard big banjo 9" in the car, with a factory nodular center, a Phallanx roller bearing retainer, Henrys 31 spline axles and never broke another rear.

So what does something that happened in the 70s have to do with the current........they DON'T make any better parts for the 8.75 NOW as they did THEN.
