Yep, I've seen that Hugger. Where did you move to?

My other sister's 69 Camaro was right at DaddyPops in the 1999 show. It is Midnight Blue with the white stripes (down the smoothed firewall) and has a X-ram in the trunk. Anyways it's amazing we've never talked before. Do you know Mike Clark or Andy Good? I spent a summer during college working next to them. I was working at Shawn Ferrel's "The Vette Shop".

As for the 4.33 gears, Casey's answer is makes perfect sense, although I do find it slightly ironic that both the housing and the ring and pinion have are for 1970 applications. The date code on the housing is before the ring and pinion, for whatever that is worth.

I counted the ring gear teeth and there are 39 of 'em. Since she (my sister who is building the B-M Nova clone) has the 4.33 gear, I think that is what she'll run. After all some comprimises have to be made due to her budget.

Thanks for all of the input guys!
