My rear (in the car) has been making noise for some time. I'm finally doing something about it and I find that everything is worn- not real bad, but needs to be redone. Here's my dilemma. I cannot find a gear set for this rear. Any HELP or ADVICE would be greatly appreciated. I don't know much in this area, but I'm learning now!
It is a GM 8.2 Differential from a 64-72 Chevy passenger car.
Ring gear diameter: 8.2"
Yoke: 1.438"
25 spline
Ratio: 2.73:1
I would like to keep it at 2.73 but haven't found anyone who stocks a ring & pinion for this rear.
The closest I've found are 3.08's from Richmond Gears.
From what I've been told, I cannot go to a 3.08 or higher because I have a 2-series carrier and would need a 3-series.
It really sucks having the car in pieces and not finding the parts to make it work.
Thanks, Bil
