I bought a swap meet GM Posi for my coupe and the seller didn't know what kind of car it came out of.It was only tagged as "Pont -Olds Posi". I need to buy a U-joint and most of the parts guys just give you a blank look if you don't know a year and make for the part you need. So I'm counting on you smart guys to recognize what year and make of car I need to buy parts for. Hopefully the pic attached will work. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Hi, that's because they need that information to plug into a terminal before "it" will give them a part number. Think of it this way, you call a cab company and ask for a cab. What happens? The guy wants more information like a address...same with with parts, without the info....Anyway - I would take it to a driveshaft shop & they can match a u-joint from what they have in stock & then be able to tell you what you have. Good Luck!
Take the yoke off and take it to the parts store. Tell them its a 1968 Chevelle 307/powerglide car, see if that fits and it should, then get a new pinion seal while you are there also. You will want to put new seals in it anyhow, also new axle seals.
no it wont.... that would be a Chevy rear than and would be different.... It does look to be a 60's bop 8.2 2 pinnion low 3 high 2's posi. if it has C-clips than Im a dumbass and listen to the above post Edit tell them its in a 65 Pontiac Lemans w/326 3spd man
Look on the front of the passenger side axle tube for a stamping. A few letters and numbers. It will be about 3" or so out from the pumpkin.
ZBuick,if you're talking about the weird S shaped spring-like gadgets,it does not have those. (I have seen those before). All I can see is coil springs that seem to be for putting pressure on clutch discs.
No chevy axles were held in with C-clips(inside the diff). BOP axles were retained at the outer bearing with 4 bolts. and the pinnion yolks have different splines between the two. the S shaped spring you mentioned was used in the 70's GM posies.
OK,gotcha' on the retainer clips.I don't know if I can see the ends(it's at my shop) BTW,I think the tag also said "3.23" so I bet you nailed it.
after rereading your post.... you need a u joint????? yeah the u-joint is the same as a chevy. but not much else
the rear end you have there is out of a 67 firebird it is a bop style 28 spline axles no c clips wheel bearings on the axles it has no mounts on top of the housing for trailing arms it is a cone clutch posi if you want a conversion joint borg warner makes one to goe from inside clips what tis has to out side clips like a ford or chev the # is HD9 make sure you a posi additive i use ford in that unit i hope this helps !
Hey Clays...I went to the parts store today to try to get a Borg- Warner #HD9 ujoint and they said that was not a good number. Do you have any way to check that number you suggested? What you said about the rear end like ...no mounts for tr. arms, wheel bearings on axles,no c clips...is all correct. Thanks for any ideas...MickeyD
go to this website, if the link works.....with some simple measurements it will give you a dana spicer part number, any auto parts store sould be able to cross that http://www.rockfordpowertrain.com/products/ujoints/RBsizing.pdf most likely a 1310
