Default Re: Rear gear change

Lets see, '72 Olds having the 8.5" GM 10 bolt...lots of choices indeed.

For the torque that you have in that Olds a 3.42 or a 3.55 would make for a real runner. Mine had the 3.23s in it and on the drag strip, they ran within .02 of the 3.91's. If I could go back, I would try to find a set of 3.42's but, Richmond does not make that for the 'O' axle. 3.73's will make it a little buzzy, but you can still run down the highway.
