Default Did I score?

I found a corvette differential on Cl for $25, so far I've found it's a 3.36 ratio standard unit, , but I have it now though.....



No cover on it and it looks like it has been sitting a while.

By standard ratio do you mean it is a non posi unit? If it is a non posi it will make a nice door stop. The case might be ok but he center non posi unit is pretty worthless. Take it apart and see if anything is useable.

AK coded diff is a 68 3:36 non-positraction unit. Not worth much except for parts.

Somebody scored but it wasn't you.

Not having a cover on it for a long time subract 3 points. Not being a posi unit subtract another 5 points. That leaves you with a score of 2
You do the math.

if the eaton unit is non posi, then sure, its not worth much, but the ring and pinion and the case itself are worth plenty.. would make for an excellent core trade in if buying another rebuilt one.... I would buy those all day for 25$

Ouch! You guys are brutal. Hopefully the comments were meant in fun. I would take them that way but with text sometimes it's hard to tell. Personally I would be happy to get 3.36 gears by themselves if they are in usable shape for 25.00.

Actually it is in all fun. I myself am looking for a good deal on some 3:36's
For my vette to make it more highway friendly. I plan to buy it already in a case with posi and not needing a re-build. Would love to find one for $25 .
