Did you know you can get stuff off of eBay real cheap while the Super Bowl is on!:) SteveD

I've got a can or two of that traction spray in my collection--but had never seen the guts of the unit. Thanks for linking to the item. SteveD

"...they were marked as GM 4.56:1 gears..." I don't believe I've ever seen a ring and pinion set marked as to ratio. The ones I've always seen just listed the teeth number of the ring and the pinion and left you to do the math. Also, doesn't it take a special ring gear/aftermarket set or an...

Back to the original question about "BB" differential. My original Chevrolet Parts and Accessories Catalog (parts manual) covering 1938-1964 and printed in 1970 lists BB for 1963 as "Powerglide (6 cyl.) (3.36 ratio)". SteveD

Had a new (well, it was a repo) '65 GTO, black with white interior and I worked in a foundry at the time---had to keep the interior covered most of the time. SteveD

I have some standard 348 pistons (used) but never paid much attention to what compression they were. Do you have any numbers that are inside them and I'll check? SteveD

Yes, '58 3X2 engines used front inlet, '59-'61 used side inlet carbs. All used the same manifold, so spacing is the same. SteveD

What Tripowerguy says, had this oil pump out syndrome once when I tried to install a spin on filter converter. SteveD

Old joint was removed and welded onto the shortened original shaft on my '63. SteveD

Richard, I took measurements (port size only) of all the 348/409 heads except the 1147 heads and posted it here awhile back. But no runner volumn, which is of course more important. SteveD

Don't know for sure about the 1147 hipo 348 heads, but the 817 lopo 409 heads DO have larger ports than the 379 lopo 348 heads. The ports are approximately 1/8th inch longer. SteveD

The 409 lopo 817 heads are the same size ports as the hipo 348 heads and I could use a set of fresh ones for that $300. Fat, you live in the next state over, I think, and I can come pick them up if you know of a fresh set for that price. SteveD

Solid lifter cars got the 7K tachs and the hydraulic lifter cars got the 6K tachs. SteveD

Richard, I see in your Nova ad where bias ply tires are offered as an option, but don't see where they were standard equipment. Did I miss something? SteveD

I'll trade ya a set of 379s for your 147s! Fix your problem.:brow SteveD
