BTW, that Brenda is one fine babe...............you owe her!

Yes Bob she is! She finally graduated too.

I did look at that site and he does have some parts, Concours has a complete rebuild kit, but i was hoping to be lazy about it and just do a swap with a new one!Looks like a rebuild is my only option. Im kinda scared of all those ball bearings in those boxes!

IF you determine it IS the box, John, they do show up on Ebay fairly often. If you can get a Hollander Manual to find out all the years that will interchange it will give you a broader range to look for. Most old junkyards will have those manuals and can tell you.

But really be sure first, there are so many other parts in that system that are a lot weaker than the box itself. Also, most boxes have a screw on top or on the side that can be adjusted in to take up wear.

I have some very old Motor Manuals that cover cars of that era, when I go to the shop tonight I'll bring one home and see what I can tell you. Finally, is it possible the PO did something to the draglink to gain clearance for the 305 mill? You will need to get the car jacked up or on a lift to see what all you have going on under there.

I bet you are on cloud 9.............you've waited a long time between cars for this one.
