well after two months of juggling summer skool and my turbo conversion in my 
80Q, i was able to drive the car.  I used an MC block with a 4000 head, K26 
and the stock 80 fuel system which should be good to about 8 psi.  After 
that, EFI.  Except for the anoying sound of the exhaust without a muffler the 
car was a blast to drive.  The car was running great pushing out 5 lbs of 
boost, no leaks or anything of that sort, im happy with that.  After about 3 
hours of on and off driving, the car deceided to take a crap on me.  Making a 
tight right turn at about 5 MPH, the ball join snapped, bringing the car to 
its knees.  HERE IS MY QUESTION>>> from what i understand, a flat bed is 
needed to tow a 4WD vehicle..... tow truck driver arrives, i remind him again 
and again that the car is 4wd, he continues to remind me that it would not be 
a problem to drag the car, leaving the rear wheels on the ground, OK i say, 
he must kno what he is doing.  Im home now, the car is on stands in the 
driveway, but im concerned if that whole towing thing might have messed up 
the transaxle.  Any ideas on this would be great!! thanx again....
