Graham, I bought a 72 Chevelle on Ebay with a 12 bolt...I was told. Got it home to find out it was a 10 bolt, but thought I could find a cheap used 12 bolt in all the junk yards we have around Houston, TX.....Boy was I wrong. I did find one, but it was not cheap, and when we stripped the unit down...It was not a posi unit...the axels were pitted, so I ended up with an expensive case.
Well.... sand blasting and powder coating have made it look great again...A new Eaton Posi with Richmond 3:73 gears...Two superior axels, not to mention a new Aluminum housing cover and bearings and the like....I think it would have been almost as cheap to buy a new unit from Currie or Moser!(GRIN) Dan Mascheck -----Original Message----- From: Graham Wooden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 8:11 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] rollin' 12 bolt I finally got my 12bolt to the house - it's on a home-made rolling platform; easy to roll out and start on the clean-up and minor disassembly. http://projectchevelle.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId= 256 It's a 12bolt from a '66 SS. It's a non-posi, and it appears to be around a 3.36 gearing (eye-ball count of the yoke turning). I haven't found the axel/production number of it yet. -Graham 67 Chevelle SS http://projectchevelle.com/
