Hi Ryan, did you see the 69 F-85 W31 olds in the October 2014 Muscle Car Review ? A post car also. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I remember drooling over this issue a while back, my affection for Club Coupe Ram Rod/W-31 Oldsmobiles is not a new thing, I just recently came out of the closet proudly:-) (No commentary necessary I get the joke.....I made it!)

You were out of the closet......along time ago, EH!

Yikes, better steer back onto the road:-)

I just had a (Duh) thought, my Protectoplate (That I have yet to decode) should indicate rear gear ratio, before I brave the cold to check drive shaft rotations vs wheel rotations:-)

I hope the Protectoplate data is similar to Chevelle as everything is spelled out clearly on these examples:-)

Ryan, in your earlier post, did you mean to say the paperwork you received from George Z. says the car has 3.42 gears and the original owner says it has 3.91 gears?

Yup!

And the BOS says 3.91 gears....TBD....I think 3.42 gears:-)

I believe 3.91 gears were standard issue with the W31 package,although an extra cost item. GM Vintage Vehicle Services often uses later model years jargon and descriptions that are not completely accurate,some examples I have seen:
sport steering wheel, they call it a wood wheel
Bumper guards,they call ot bumper guard delete.
Not even sure 3.42 could be ordered as a substitute for the 3.91.
