Hey, all; I'm trying to do a dope-deal (I'm probably the dope, here)
with Brent Burger, on his 2.76 third member.
He believes that it might have the large size pinion, on it.
How difficult would it be to put a small pinion on it, if in fact, it
won't bolt-up to my car's rear end?
It's an open diffie, so the pinion would appear to be the only fitment
consideration, that I'm aware of.
Charlie Pollock wrote, to say that Moroso might sell a
"conversion-girdle" which might adapt one size of pinion to a (my)
driveline.
Anybody have any experience/advise in adapting a diffie to a driveline,
if there is some incompatibility, between the 'pig', and the 'poke'???
ALSO: what was the standard rear end ratio, for the 1956 New Yorker
(4-dr sedan)?
BTW, Mancini Racing tentatively has said that they can provide 'any'
ratio, that you may want, in a 741/742 rear end case, for about
$900.00!!
Their experts will return from Carlisle on TUES, & I'm supposed to call
them, then, to discuss
the actual availability of their custom-assembled diffie.

What do you want, for that 2.76'er???
"Coronet Bob" did the work on my car this time. he ended up with the
gears when all was done. I just gave him a call and he said $75 for the 3rd
member. Bob cautions that he has heard pre-65 *might* use a smaller (8 3/8)
gear. He is not familiar with these and suggests you consult an interchange
book or expert before committing to anything.
Ya, know? If you hadn't told me, I'd have thought that your car was
sporting correct-size 14" wheels; not 15"ers...
The Kelsey-Hayes wires are ALL 15". There are two types. The big cars
used the type I show in the pix. Dodge and Plymouth used a narrrower type
with the outer spokes laced right out there by the bead - very different
looking. They were always offered in "painted or chrome" too. Never saw
any painted ones, but they are offered in the lit !
