I have a 71 Skylark that has the 2.56 one legger. Can I just purchase ring and pinion gears for 3.08 or 3.23 and install??
Nope, the 2.56 gears use a two series carrier and the 3.08/3.23 gears use a three series carrier. Now if your the junkyard kinda guy you can find posi carriers there pretty easily, there's a good article about how to do this on the Buick Performance Club site. Look here. http://www.buickperformance.com/posi.htm
Rear Stuff If you are not going to the track and running over 500 hp you will be fine with a spacer too. Just make sure you get a good kit that includes your proper bolts and washers. If you can not find one I have them also. Just trying to be realistic for the people that want to keep a budget and are maybe not wanting to spend more then they have to and go through junk yards hunting done a unit that may or may not be any good. I also sell reconditioned units too. I do not sell used for the purpose of you the customer will be taking the chance and in the end I will look like the bad guy selling garbage. 249.00 3 series reconditioned checked cleaned etc. Check out ebay monzaz or jdrace.com too. Thanks, Jim
