Les, The 12-17 is December 17. I don't think anybody has figured out the schedule number yet though; I've never seen one more that two-digits long (01..99) and most plants were making 400+ cars a day so logic would indicate it's not a sequence number of cars that day or even shift. To me, so

Thanks for responding Dale. I see in box 10 it reads 62 12-17. If I understand correctly 62 is the schedule number and 12-17(Dec 17?) is the approx production date. What is the schedule number? Thanks, Les. ** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find o

The build sheet does have a date on it, block #10, along with a schedule number. I believe it's the date the order went in to build the car and not necessarily the date it rolled off the line although, unless there were problems, it'd be within a day or two at the most. GM does have publishe

I sure opened a can of worms with the whole 12 bolt yoke thing didnt I? Well, I have already learned a few things about 12 bolt yokes. The reason I asked what people where running was that I really was under the impression that you could use either kind. I talked to a guy at Jegs (I had to of

Assuming you have a stock gear, usually they were 3.08 10 bolt opens being a 3 speed car, I think you would be happy with a M-20 4 speed. If you get the older one you should be able to use the same driveshaft. My $.02 - Original Message From: Jim Sullivan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: The C

I'd be more concerned about the 3-speed being able to hold up behind the 402. The big blocks had a different, heavier-duty 3-speed manual than the small blocks. I'd find a 4-speed if I were you. BillL At 03:10 PM 3/5/2007, you wrote: I just sent an email re: "12 Bolt Yoke" I have a differen

All this U bolt/ Straps information makes me think about my situation. My '69 Malibu 307 had a 3 speed on the floor with a 10 bolt open rear. It has the U bolt. It's going back together as a 402 with a 4 speed and a 12 bolt posi. Sounds like I'm not going to be able to use the original U b

Ryan, I'm pretty sure the key is what driveshaft and U-joints you had/have. Every 1350 style U-joint I've ever seen used a U-bolt style yoke. Don't quote me on this but it's my understanding that driveshafts on cars with TH400 & M22 trannys used the larger 1350 U-joints. My '70 El Camino S

Mike, Never crossed my mind there would be intent to mislead. Unfortunately Ryan didn't mention a year, engine, or trans type he currently has or what the year, engine, or trans type the rear end came out of so it sort of left the question open to interpretation. It's also worded in such a wa

Dale, I wasn't trying to mislead Ryan with a "blanket statement". In my experience, I had never come across a 12 bolt that had straps. And I have come across more than one or two. But I haven't worked on one with a TH400. Learn something new everyday. Mike - Original Message - From:
