Default Got my car back

I posted on here a few weeks ago about a horrible sound in my rear end...well, I just got it back after two weeks in the shop. Apparently someone who owned the car before me enjoyed dumping the clutch and peeling out...the differential was shot...after getting it replaced, I also had bad left wheel bearings...I went ahead and had a new HEI distributor put in since the distributor in it didn't have a tach drive...I just took it for a drive, and boy, what a difference. It runs great...I'm a little lighter in the pocket, but it was worth it.
