Pumpkin Chunkin

[sqbsprite]

It's a rainy day in the Carolinas so I decided to do a job I had been putting off for awhile. I changed out my original 4.22 diff for a 3.90. I also change the axles shafts to the later stronger ones. Now I'm just waiting for a pretty day to try it out. I know everybody likes to see photos, so I took a few along the way.

Here's the old one stamped 9/38

New one in place

New axles painted.

One way to prevent the axle from leaking is to use Copper Coat on the gaskets.

Very nice! :thumbsup:

The 3.9 is a huge improvement for a street car (unless you're autocrossing or something like that).

Honestly, the 3.7 (from the rubber bumper, 1500 cars) is a good choice too.

I wanted a 3.7, but got this one at a really good price. I may keep looking if I am not pleased with this one.

Rainy day in East Tennessee as well. All I've done is piddle. Makes me feel as if I should have been more focused.

FWIW, I know a guy who calls his daughter his chunky pumpkin.

He's a precher and says it from the pulpit. He's a great guy and loves her dearly.

that would get me tortured, killed, dismembered, burned and my ashes spread to the four winds. And then she'd get angry.
