I am learning quickly about O-Type anti-spin rears:-)

Chatted with Greg Rollin at Supercars Unlimited, and Brian Trick Olds rear expert, and I now have the confidence to set up my "Posi" and get it hung on my chassis. Also Tweed V. And Dave H are helping me on FB (It takes a community)

Thanks to all 4 guys!!!

Now I want to build a 4.66 for PSMCDR but need to focus!!!

I like these rear ends as the axles

Ended up adding 0.012" to each side of the posi to bring it back within specs:-)

She should grab and go now:-)

A couple more little items like putting the axles back in, red Loctite here and there, adding gear oil and posi additive, gasket and cover, and I hope to install this weekend.

I can't find my NOS posi tag.......... yet.........

Home run today!!

Wrapped up the rear end rebuild.

Red locktite for the pinion nut and cross shaft bolt, sealant on the pinion yoke splines, and white lithium grease on the seal surfaces. Then Lucas gear oil and GM posi additive:-) I even restored the original cover bolts. Done!!

My neighbor, Jamie and I installed the differential in the frame, that felt good!! I put the springs and insulators in. Next step is to paint the shocks and install. (I am using generic shocks as the repop spirals are so expensive and these are an easy upgrade in future if the need arises) I also may get drag shocks for PSMCDR)

Just wanted to say that this is one of the more interesting threads and a cool story about a great car. I have been following from the beginning, and I admire what you are doing.

Keep up the great work, and I appreciate you sharing your story.

Dan: Check mark, the original tubes, the new ones are easy to go, check:-)

Matt: Each item is new to me so the excitement is real!!! Thanks for following along, it means a lot to me:-)

Ryan

PS: my engine builder search continues......... I have one quote due this week.......... Fingers crossed. I am not the usually guy who accepts entering a project with general goals and maybes and ambiguity. My scope of work is getting pretty specific, but with specific requirements it has I think driven the price up a few times......
