Thumbs up Re: Question on 68-72 Olds type "O" Rear

Fred will not do anything to devalue this car. Better to have some fun with it rather than it sit in a garage to just look at.

Well it looks like I have procured a ring and pinion set.....



(picture for Mark...lol)

My question is ....as these are original GM pieces, will they fit the 3:42 carrier that is in the car now? I have 31 spline axles. I have heard of a spacer being needed on some of these applications.Would I need a spacer with a factory set of gears vs. aftermarket or visa versa? Just want to make sure before we dig into this..Any help on this will be appreciated.

Regards,
Fred

Looks like that ring gear is quite thick. Should go on your existing carrier
OK. Should help in the ET department. Good luck, take good care of that car!!
