Re: Colorado Belvedere Convertible progressing

John; Did you check out the pad below the pinion that shows the numeric axle ratio. If the number like 3.58 is followed by the letter 'S' this means the unit is a sure grip unit. Example 3.58 S

Re: Why I'm not working on the '59

Roger,
The weather here has been fine, I have a heater core to replace.. haven't even started. I might be burning out. I was perfectly happy to be planting bulbs for my wife and granddaughter. I promise I will do the heater core within the week....weather permitting.

Re: Body Weight.

John, To answer your movie question...Monty python's Holy grail ? Scene birds tied to coconuts.

The inner seal is usually the problematic seal. Any real autoparts supply can find them, I can look up numbers when I get to work.
