Dave, The rear could be something different than we thought. My BOP 10 bolt is a 64 and original to my car. My 64 GTO has exactly the same rear. I think we assumed your rear was a 66 BOP. Could it have been changed out by a previous owner?
Must have been.
I'll be at my local parts store later today and can get part numbers for my rear, axle bearing, seals etc. But yours may be different. Can you read any numbers off the center housing that might be casting numbers or date codes? Is there an axle code stamped on the RS axle tube? These may help with positive ID.
Let me know if I can help.
Mike
I looked on top passenger tube & couldn't find any numbers. i
can look again in the morning.
Your #'s would help, I bet the axle bearing on yours is
RW-507-CR I can find these, but mine is RW-507-G or RW-507-GR.
It's much bigger diameter OD & ID.
thanks.
- Here in Dallas they have no idea. I can't find the axle bearings
- anywhere. Seems they are not available anywhere. & I have spent
- hrs on the phone. The ones that I can get are to small RW-507-CR.
- RW-507-CR are 2.749 OD X 1.380 ID.
- I need RW-507-G 2.890 OD X 1.437 ID & .740 thick, sealed ball
- bearing . I can even use used ones (can be re-packed).
- Help! Maybe I should have bought a Ranchro F**D , sorry I cussed.
- Why my 66 Elky ended up with this rear end I don't know...
