Actually, I have been a forum member for about 15 years. For the last couple of years I would only check in once or twice a year. I tried to log in one day and couldn't, so after several unsuccessful attempts, I was able to register under a new user name.

I bought the car in 1971 from the original owner. I sold it in 1974. I know of at least 7 owners, including the current owner. There were probably more.

The car originally came with a 3.31 gear. I decided to install a 4.56, but went the budget route and used a ring gear spacer to allow the install into a 3 series posi unit. The ring gear spacer in combination with slicks didn't fare too well and it sheered the ring gear bolts. When I went to repair the diff, it appeared that the carrier bearings might have spun in the housing so I just went to the local Chevrolet dealer and bought a new housing as well as a Moroso 4 series posi unit. I have no recollection what I did with the original 12 bolt, might have sold it or disposed of it.

It had the original M22 in it when I sold it.
