[Chevelle-list] 1966 chevelle & a new posy rea rend...

Sounds like it's not setup correctly, maybe has the wrong fluid in it, or
it's a 'locked' differential.. A Positraction ("Positraction is a Chevrolet
trademark name for a limited-slip differential) rear end requires a
different gear lube specifically for it and different from an open rear end
setup.
There are four basic types of rear end setups for our cars.
First the open differential where when one rear tire loses traction the
other just sits there and gets no power supplied to it.
A second type is a 'limited-slip' differential like Chevrolet's
Positraction. By adding springs and clutches it senses when one tire is
losing traction and applies traction equally to both rear wheels. When
making a turn one rear wheel must go farther than the other. Springs in the
Positraction unit allow (or are suppose to) a certain amount of slip before
engaging the clutches to lock up to allow this.
A third is a 'locked' differential such as the Detroit Locker. It's a
ratcheting type of unit that keeps both rear tires turning at the same
speed. One problem is when cornering when one tire wants to turn faster
than the other, the 'locker' only senses one tire is slipping and locks it
up forcing the outer tire to bounce as it tries to catch up with the inner
tire.
The fourth is called a 'spool' that simply locks both rear axles with no
slipping at all. Great for drag racing since it maximizes and equalizes
traction to both rear tires. Terrible when you have to make a turn however.
I'd find out exactly what type of rear end setup he put in it.

Ok I have a question concerning the rear-end I just had put in my 66
chevelle. If you remember I had wrote when I first joined the list that I
had finally got my car back after it had been in the shop for almost 4 mo
and that the guy didnt do half the work he was supposed to do and didnt
order any of the items I gave him money to buy.... well I have a posey rear
end in her now (first time having one) always had the standard factory type
of rear end in her, and right after I bought the car in 1982 I had it
replaced with the exact same kind. Couldnt tell any difference except the
fact it did drive better, tighter without the "play" I guess youd say?....
Well this rear end I have now is really FUNKY! ... When I try to go
backwards she acts like she just dont want to go, barely even goes and the
tires fight to turn and I have to push realy hard on the gas, the tires
wanna bounce. Any type of corner or any turn I make even as simple as
turning into my driveway or making a right hand turn down another street the
tires squell like Im doing a burn-out!! I can be going 5 - 10 - 15 miles an
hour and it does that. The tires also wanna "bounce"I am not happy with it
do not like it at all but dont know if this is what it is supposed to do or
if this IDIOT did something WRONG with it.... Is that normal!?? will it ever
STOP and GO AWAY!?? when I complained to him about it he tried to say that
is normal for the type of rear end he put in, that its tight and new and
needs to be worn in and loosen up........ok its been a MONTH and I drive my
car every day and I see NO CHANGE!!?? please tell me it is normal and will
go away!!! I already am in process of taking this jerk to court because of
tall the work he DIDNT do and the MONEY he kept for parts NOT ordered and
put in my car!!
sad n depressed cuz my baby AINT done like expected!!!

Has anybody ever converted thier R12 to R134A?
I have this 62 Cadillac that has A/C. I thought it might be neat if the A/C
worked on it. I have to convert it over to 134A right? I'm assuming that
there is zero refrigerant in the system right now. I've done a little
research on it and it appears that besides vacuuming out any remaining R12,
I need to change the compressor oil? The compressor spins freely, and
smoothly. I have zero A/C experience. Do I need to change out anything else?
Thanks for your help!!!

change out all the seals to R-134 seals, replace the drier (maybe
Evaporator) and have the compressor vacuumed out and use R-134 oil back in
the compressor.....

When I replace the drier and evaporator...does it have to be one specific to
R134? Is there a difference?

I have had a couple of cars converted. Always done by my local Radiator
Hospital. The easiest way I think. If you have the tools you can do it
yourself. Check this site out.
