Well, for the 2nd time in a month I changed out my final drive, first with a
temp to replace the one I fried and now with the proper replacement. I sure
hope I don't have to do that job ever again !

But, I remembered to fill it with gear lube this time....don't think I'll ever
make that mistake again !!!!

I'll be interested to hear what you think of the 3.70 ratio after a few miles.

Driving in the torque range is something that amazes some, as the
engine now operates more powerfully and not lug down.
Go to our web site under Final drives and look at the chart and see
that being in the 2600-3500 rpm is possible and you'll put less stress
on the transmission and the engine will run leaner and the distributor
timing will be higher.
Our warranty is truly one of a kind, No other supplier has gone this
far and stayed there year after year.

Gee - maybe I should order one of JimK's drives now that there is an experienced drive changer in the neighborhood. <GRIN>

We now ship the final drives from Ohio to save freight both ways.
