Is that a mini spool. My 300 has got a GM 456 ring and pinion in it with what looks like the same posi. Mine has two Capital L's engraved in it. I thought it was a mini spool </div></div>

Mike, I don't know what it would be called as I've never seen one.

That's a mini spool. Try turning the axles independent of each other.

Ok, good to know what it is, thanks to you and Mike.
When I first bought the car, and we were pushing it around to get on the trailer, I noticed that there was no differential action. Very hard to push when going around corners, so I figured there was some sort of locker in it.
I was just glad it wasn't a set of welded spiders, as the rest of the car was put together fairly hastily.

Steet machine + mini spool + wet roads = potential bad news! TAZ

Yeah, I would not use this spool as I'm having the 4.10 and an original posi put back in.
Anybody want to buy the spool?

What Dan doesn't tell is that he came by to get my seat frames to bring to his upholsterer for recovering/rebuilding.

He nearly insisted I use this guy as he's done many sets of the 300 Deluxe seats with the stripes in the material, and making the seat covers and getting everything in proper alignment is what this guy is good at.

Thanks Dan!!!!!!!!!

Rick,

The pleasure is all mine......THIS CHevelle has lived a hard life and you are resurrecting her in a way that most car guys can only wish and dream of doing. I am only contributing a small portion to help you see your dream come true. YOUR INTERIOR WILL BE STUNNING. I have always said a 1969 300 Deluxe interior is one of the Best looking interiors that GM made.

Yes, my interior guy has done Dozens of 300 Deluxe seats for many of my registered 300 Deluxe Owners ...he has it down to a science.

Dan
