I'm not happy but I installed a used 3:26 ratio unit this week. Right now I'm having to order a pinion seal on line as three local suppliers can't find the right part or didn't supply that part. This was the result of having the one I had rebuilt two hundred miles and twenty months ago. The shop that did the rebuilt balked at standing behind their work. The gear started making and unusual noise but the shop wouldn't even drive the car. Now I'm waiting for Rock Auto to send that seal. Wish me luck on the road test of this used one.
On a good note, I have finally managed my life to the point where I can spend my free time on this car. The third member is just one thing. I rebuilt the 727 last spring and last year disassembled the big block, had the heads done and cleaned the block. I have a lot of the engine parts together just have to order bearings, rings and cam kit to complete this drive train rebuild. Right now if this rear works OK I'll stick with it but in the Toledo area we have two shops that say they can do the work but both now have disappointed me.
