[Chevelle-list] Carrier rebuild

[Mumper, Douglas]

Ryan, with 25 ¾" high tires I would go with 3:55 gears, your tires are not very tall so you don't want a 3:73 gear!!!  A 26" tall tire with 3:55 is about the same as 28" tall tire with 3:73!!!!!! Just my 2 cents!

The tires I am using are on 15" rims and are 25 3/4" diameter.  Unfortunately, to get me back on the road for now I am just going to plug the Saginaw 4 speed back into it then maybe later (hopefully) stick a muncie in it.  That is if I can get my hands on one somewhere.  I thought I read somewhere that the Muncie and Saginaw are both a 1:1 final drive so hopefully what works good with the Saginaw for a while will work just as good with the Muncie.  I would like to be able to run it down the interstate to work everyonce in a while but I also dont want a pooch either.  If I get the urge to smoke a tire or two I want to be able to.  Not that anybody here on the list knows what that is like!!  I was considering the ring and pinion install kit from Jegs with 3:31's.  I think that might get me about where I would like to be.  Thanks EVERYBODY for all the replies and opinions.  This list has been a life saver.  

 

 

Thanks again

 

Ryan
