Re: [Chevelle-List] new list member
Kim, welcome to the list. It sounds like a nice car collection you have there. André in Italy Hello everyone I joined the list a few weeks ago and have found it very informative. I bought a 69 back in June at the street machine nat ionals in Indy, it has all the SS 396 badging but had a 94 centerbolt 350 wit h TH 400 trans and 3:73 12 bolt posi. I'm pretty sure it's not a real SS si nce i got it at a good price but i got what i was looking for, a solid body with original floors and trunk in great shape, power steering and brakes, i ts GM firethorn red with black interior. Anyway it now has a 502 and built 700R 4, I just got it running last w eekend and it is amazing to say the least. The other day i read on the list that the rearend is 62 1/2'' OD at th e axles, i measured mine last night in preparation for a 9'' and it is 6 0 3/4'' without the drums, does my car have the wrong rearend or was the gentleman mistaken at 62 1/2''. The other thing is that i put Torque Tech 3'' exhaust on it with 3 cha mber Flowmasters and it sounds great I have 2 chambers on my Impala SS with 2 1/2'' pipes and it drones at low RPM, I highly recomend the 3 chambers, great tone but not too loud at least not for my tastes.

RE: [Chevelle-List] new list member
Title: RE: [Chevelle-List] new list member Sounds like you have a 67 rear end. The reason I suspect a 67 as opposed to a 64-66 is the way the springs mount. I had a 68-72 rear in my 67 and finally swapped it out a couple of years ago for a 67 unit and nothing else was changed - springs, brake lines, u-joint, shocks, etc. * 1964-67 Chevelle rear ends were manufactured by the Chevrolet Gear and Axle Division. The housing measures 56.5 inches from flange to flange, and with the brake drums in place, the total width is 60.5 inches. * 1968-72 Chevelle rear end housings measure 58.5 inches from flange to flange, and with the brake drums in place, the total width is 62.5 inches Dale McIntosh TC Gold #92/ACES #1709 67SS/67 Elky -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-chevelle- The other day i read on the list that the rearend is 62 1/2'' OD at the axles, i measured mine last night in preparation for a 9'' and it is 60 3/4'' without the drums, does my car have the wrong rearend or was the gentleman mistaken at 62 1/2''
