[Chevelle-list] Posi!?

[Dan Mascheck]

OK, but Auburn sure looks a bit flimsy and I know of no one using one!

Eaton is rebuildable. Auburn is not.

(?) I think 3.55 would be perfect.  My cruise RPM  (1800rpm)  seems a bit
too low in the power band.    As for the posi, one brand of the 2 ( and I
don't remember which) is rebuildable & the other is not.  I have the
non-rebuildable installed for 10 years and it hasn't been an issue.    As it
is I wish for peace of mind that I'd gone with the rebuildable.   My nickels
worth.

Hi Dan,

I guess it all depends on what you plan to do with the truck.  Will you be
running it at the track?  Or just want to have it for fun burnouts on the
way to cruise nights?

In my Chevelle I have a 10-bolt posi that was an original Chevelle rear, and
I have Richmond 3.73 gears in it.  It definitely does the trick and didn't
run me an insane amount of money.
