Boy am I glad I got pictures now and the video. My negative cable grounds to the passenger side of the block not the alternator bracket. This confused me when I was putting it back together according to the assembly manual. Yes my rear end housing was dated. Here is the code from the protecto-plate. CBS0808G. CBS is 3.31, August 8, I forget what the G means? I checked the sheet I made and I wrote down "CBS0808G1 E" as being stamped on the axle tube. I also wrote down a build date of Aug. 8, 1969. Like I said, I think I have video of the code on the housing and also of the numbers which you divide to get the ratio on the large gear. I haven't watched it lately. I can send anyone a copy of my sheet with the numbers. Here's my e-mail address.
[email protected] It will take some time for a video if anyone wants a copy. I'll send a letter with the sheet free just e-mail me. I'm not in this for any money. I just want to help those who are trying to restore cars correctly. Boy, with the answers I'm seeing, I must have a very unusual car. Perhaps because of such an early production date?? I think I answered all the questions. I don't have the original battery. I would put pictures on this site but I'm new to the computer stuff. If someone else can that would be great.
