    Yep, I've got an S10 rear in the 23, non posi and I simply put a mark on the tire and on the driveshaft then rolled it forward and counted the driveshaft and tire revolutions. Mine ended up a 3:00, which seems high, but worked out perfect.

    If it's an open rear end, jack up one wheel and turn it two turns, counting the driveshaft turns.

    That's the right way to do it
    I remember when hot rods were all home made.

    Question Thanks for the replys

     



    OK so if the rear end is supposed to be a 323 how does that equate to revolutions?
