Differential help!!
Check out this completed auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eb...715565&r=0&t=0
These are the same brand of gear as the one's i'm trying to setup. Can someone explain to me why the seller says that to install in a 65-later rear you must use a 63-64 pinion bearing spacer? Am I right by thinking he is talking about the crush sleeve? My parts guy at the GM dealership listed a pinion bearing spacer but noted that it was also called a crush sleeve.

Re: Differential help!! (Stingy74)
Let me shed some light on this for you. That gear is really for a 63-66 Corvette. However it will work up to a 67, or a 70 w/4spd. The spacer he is talking about is really a crush sleeve, but not like the one that came in your car. It is a very short crush sleeve which was used through 66. The reason you can only use it up to 70, is if you notice it has course splines on it which means you will have to use the front yoke from a 63-66 which is the same all the way up to the 70 4 spd except for the spline count. In 68 w/ auto and 71 all they used the wider 41/8 yoke.
