Re: [Chevelle-list] posi
If your rear end is sound and you do not want to rebuild the Powertrax is the way to go. A one day job with no special tools. http://www.richmondgear.com/powertrax/lockright.html If you want to change gears do a complete rebuild Eaton last longer than Auburns in my experience. This will cost you twice as much in parts and labor. Plus you may need to pull the whole rear.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Posi?
Number 1 if you have a 4.56 rear now, you will also have to change your carrier to a 3 series carries (you now have a 4 series). If your going to stay in town with a turbo 400 a 3.73 would be OK but if your going to cruise on the open road you should consider a 3.30 gear ratio. The 396 has plenty of torque even with the higher ratios - Original Message - From: Smith, James L. To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 1:29 PM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Posi?

They told me with the 700R4 they wanted me to be hitting 2000 RPM's at 70 MPH. We ran the math and with the large Michelins I have a 3:73 works perfect! My question is what brand or style of posi?

GM part # 1052271 80W-90 Rear axle lube. GM part # 1052358 Limited slip differential lube additive. The additive is used with the rear axle lube is severe cases where the stick slip symptom is heard. Quaker state weight of the lube is 75-90 and is green is color. Brown or dark brown color means that the fluid is burnt and needs changing, as it can no longer provide adequate lubrication for the bearings or gears. You need to change the rear fluid, and then find parking lot where you can drive in figure 8 patterns for about 10 to 20 times. This will work the new fluid into the clutch and disk plate in the posi. You may need to change the fluid again and repeat above after 500 miles. Good luck.

Yeah, key word additive which I know I mentioned, it still takes 90W.

Gear oil is brown. There is no specific posi gear oil, just an additive. All rears take 90W. Tom

[Chevelle-List] POSI/Headliners
Hey guys, what's the advantage of a posi over a regular one, besides smoking both tires instead of just one? Another question: When headliners are installed do they have any stuffing behind them, or are they just material stretched across the roof? - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From an old Popular Science article posted at: http://www.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/Articles/Antispin.html You may have driven cars with limited-slip differentials for many years. Maybe you feel they've gotten you out of spots where a standard axle would have left you stranded. Or maybe you think they don't help you much, if at all. You may even feel that the drawbacks of an antislip unit are greater than the advantages. But what do you know? It's an interesting read if you have the time. The bottom line for dry pavement: We also ran acceleration tests on dry pavement. The car with antislip won. It covered the standing quarter-mile in 14.6 seconds, against 15.2 for the other. Axle tramp and wheelspin lost the race for the car with the standard axle. When headliners are installed do they have any stuffing behind them, or are they just material stretched across the roof? Depends on the car. -- Cliff Simpson http://www.ucalgary.ca/~csimpson/ - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Chevelle-List] POSI/Headliners
smoke the tires= no forward accleration posi= better traction= more forward acceleration Rob Means be good,if not,be good at it [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Paul O'Brien [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; chevelle-list [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; classicmercurycars [EMAIL PROTECTED]; marauders2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mercury Club of Norway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 10:01 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] POSI/Headliners Hey guys, what's the advantage of a posi over a regular one, besides smoking both tires instead of just one?

Re: [Chevelle-List] POSI/Headliners
OK I knew about the one tire in the mud scenario and the traction, but are we talking about better mileage, handling, etc., etc., etc. When I was a kid, (and still a little now) I thought it was impressive to see both tires smokin. - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Older cars are just material. G-bodies have a thin 1/8 inch layer of foam backing bonded to the material. rick rick schaefer 72 El camino http://members.home.net/jimmy4/rick1972elky.html ACES #00140 Team Chevelle #00038 - To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
