Yes, I think that's them. I bought something from them a few years back & was quite satisfied. Nice people.
I gotta say, that's pretty much the goal. The elusive 2 wheel peel. I guess I've been looking for a 8 3/4 because everyone says they are easier for gear changes and more sturdy. Would it be worth just upgrading my current rear end? If so, what would I want to start with to beef it up?Chrysler put the 8-1/4 behind the 383 2bbl in earlier year cars, so I would not be surprised if the 8-1/4 in your car is original equipment assuming it is a car coded for 2bbl 400. A 4bbl car would have originally had an 8-3/4 axle.
The good news is that you should be able to spin a tire with a good tune and a little power braking. I think your goal of doing burnouts is easily obtainable without investing in axle upgrades, though it is 10x more fun when you spin both tires.

Here's a rebuilt 8 3/4 w/3.55 Suregrip for $850 in Vernonia. The same guy has a couple of rebuilt 3.23 Suregrips as well.Good call. I've only changed the oil and coolant... a flush of the others sure wouldn't hurt. Man, I've been looking for a 8 3/4, but they are hard to come by in oregon!
For the idle problem, Is it possible I've got a vacuum leak or the hoses aren't hooked up properly to the carb? Forgive the dumb question...never had to deal with this problem before.
I just bought a new Strange 60 for my 71 Charger R/T. $3019 shipped.
