This is my Grampys old coat, all washed up for working on my car:-)

I miss Grampys, Grammy, and Papa! (Grandma is still going strong, she came to my son's hockey game today:-))

Now that I am a little more organized I can start a list of what I need.

#1: Battery...what looks correct and cranks in the hottest and coldest days?

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
 
So let's figure out this rear end!

Jamie and I jacked her up nice and high, pulled the fill plug, and the diff cover. I was careful not to hurt the posi tag!

3.42:1 gears!! posi!!

We counted the pinion gear has 12 teeth and the ring gear has 41 teeth, just as the GM docs and our masking tape calculations suggested. So the Dealer BOS was wrong:-) and Al thought they were 3.91 gears all this time.

You can see orange daubs on the right side of the carrier.

You can see a white daub and yellow marks on the ring gear

Re: Ryan Weaver's 1969 Olds Cutlass S W31 Club Coupe
 
The stamp on the ring gear looks like:

12A 41 GM. C. 200 1

The car was built 03B March (second week), does the 12A represent December (first week)?

41 would make sense if it represents the # of teeth?

GM General Motors

200?

1?

Make certain you add posi additive to your new gear oil.

I went to the local auto parts store to get gear oil and posi additive, I asked which is best, the guy showed me the cheapest stuff available.

What oil and additive do you recommend?

Also need to know what oil to put in the Muncie?

Sounds like great fun.

By then I will have a decent list assembled.

Ryan

I would like to know what battery to buy, I don't have one and would like to check the electrical system. I want one that looks stock but has lots of juice!

I think that would be a good idea, I need to find out what kind of battery would have been in my car for starters

I want to get the brakes working before MCACN so I took the wheels and drums off, someone has recently done the back brakes:-) probably able to use most everything and clean them up and get them functional. Only changed on wheel cylinder.

I looked in my Product Information Manual and F70-14 Goodyear whitelines are not listed as as a available tire on your car. It's just a guide not written in stone.
