Jeff,
Thanks, for the help with the '65 Cutlass axle question I had yesterday.
Well now I am trying to hunt down that pinion retaining bolt since I
busted mine in half removing it when it didnt need to in the first place.
Also I am in Japan so I cant go to the local auto store, wish I could.
The last post mentioned that Chris W might have some? I have checked the
internet with no luck, any help?
The problem is, I hope, you are calling the bolt you need by the wrong name.
There is no "pinion retaining bolt."

Maybe he means the pinion shaft lock screw? If you are lucky, it uses
the same one as most later GM rear ends. Most dealer parts departments
should have them in stock. I can recall calling around to find one
years ago. The parts counter guy's response to my question was "Oh,
yea, the one that always breaks. I've got 'em on the shelf."
Regards,
Fred
