Are the Brute Force U-joints made by a company named NEAPCO ??
I wanted to use Spicers but can't find a local store that will sell me
ones without grease fittings. They keep telling me that all Spicer have
grease fittings.

Check with a truck parts house like Fleet Pride. They'll have the solid joints there. They should be about $18.

Check your yellow pages for drivetrain shops.. They should have the Spicers.. The Brute Force U-joints are not the same quality as the Spicers..

You know, I don't dragrace...so maybe I"m not the BEST source of infor on that...but I have the brute force things in my car for years now...no troubles..and have put them in an old friend's ZR1 at 465 hp rear wheels...he used to be brutal as hell with that car...drove the living sh it out of it...street and at track...never a failure...in there for about 3 years....

Did he run slicks or Drag Radials... Running with street tires isn't really too tough on U-joints whatever horsepower you have.. because the tires are going to spin before breaking them.. I got a lot of feedback on the Brute Force U-joints at the Drag Race section... and most people there didn't like them...
