First off, thanks to all that responded to my question on the diff studs.
I finished the swap of the rear spring on the '67, installed the front sway
bar, put new shocks and bushings in, bled and adjusted the rear brakes, and
while I had it up in the air I decided to top off the diff..... Took it out
for a little ride last night in the cool (cooler) air and was very happy
with the whole thing. Got her home, covered her up and had a (few) beer.
When I went out to get the paper this AM I noticed the cover was off from
the wind last night, went to put the cover back on and low and behold.....
gear oil all over the place..... Imagine that, and I had just put some of
that stuff in the diff.... what are the odds??? Crawled under and what a
mess.... Looks like I get to rip it all apart again and change some seals
out..... Bummer....
Anyway thanks all....
