A side shaft broke where the splines start. I need to find a reliable place to get my differential rebuilt. Prefer somewhere near southeast South Dakota.

Save your 150 Bucks.. Tune it yourself.. YOu can increase your timing advance a few degrees and improve your throttle response and fuel mileage..Advance it a little at a time until you get detonation at part throttle acceleration, then back it off a couple degrees. Use a vacuum guage and set...
