What diff is standard equipment in Hemi cars?

Dana 60

No, I have a different answer again. I am no Dodge expert but I think I have this one correct.

---

I'm looking at a 1970 Rapid Transit System sales brochure and it lists for the Hemi "Extra heavy duty Dana built 9 3/4" dia. ring gear. Granted this is a Plymouth brochure.

---

Tonight I was watching the replay of last year's Barrett-Jackson and they had a segment where one of their experts was describing all of the muscle rear ends and he said that all of the hemi and 440 cars came with the 9 3/4" Dana rear end. So if I saw it on B-J, it must be true right?

 

---

Well, for sure then we know it's wrong......!!!

I will see if I can find it. I read that a 426 automatic had the 8 3/4" as standard equipment, Dana 60 optional AND that a 426 4 speed had a Dana 60 as standard equipment.

Ray,

I was reading through sorting out all these unanswered questions and I read this post.

I owe you a public apology. I did not mean that "we know for sure it's wrong" because you said so. I meant that if Barrett Jackson says so, then we know for sure it's wrong! I read this now and thought "man, that didn't come out right"! 

 I am sorry, that was not meant to sound like I was talking about you.

What is the original usage of the switch that "engages" Mad Max's blower?

C'mon guys, we still joke about this one. Anyone?

truck switch to change two speed rear end we had one in a 65 F450 stake truck

 

---

Exactly. I knew someone had to have noticed that.

Not necessary at all Carl, I think we were all having a few laughs, don't worry at all, I think you are the last person who would deliberately go after someone.

What was on the gold coloured plate on the steering wheel of a 53 Buick Skylark?

This answer is very cool!

---

The Owners name, to celebrate the 50th Anneversary

 

---

Isn't that neat? I love that. How cool would it be to order a new car and it comes with your name on the steering wheel.

Small chevy identified by the balancer size?

Ummm, I guess some but there was a bigger balancer on the L79 for sure, and I think even on the 275 horse 327 as well. Didn't just the 283 use the dinky one?

Anyway, that could be correct but there is another foolproof way with the one exception as noted and it also identifies a small journal, just is visually different than the difference I mean.   Confused?

In the mid to late 60's, what was a "Z24"? (I mean that option on a Ch**y)

I know at least one regular on this site who knows this one off the top of his head. Where are you Andrew? (Not AK67 SD)

---

Cavallier Z24 P215/60R-14 tires

 

---

In the mid to late 60's Carl. That would have to be a VERY early Cavalier you are talking about!

Didn't the first muscle car get the first Hurst Competition Plus? The 1964 GTO

Nope, sorry, older.

Firebird name -----Fireball?

Nope, 2 separate words. First word is Grand or Grande, not sure of the spelling. Second word is a name not used ever before or since by Pontiac as far as I know.

I saw the story on this car years ago in Car Review. I think the guy bought it not knowing it was a one-off car.

 

I was sure 2qwik2c would have that one nailed if he saw the question. He's up on his 427 Impalas.

What 67 Pontiac 400 HO engine component(s) were shared with a 455SD Firebird?

There is a specific one I am looking for and would like to have an accurate description of the similarity.

---

Tough one. Correct answer is camshaft. The one difference being the phyiscal size of the distributor gear on each one, but the specs are the same.

---

Are you sure about this Carl? To my knowledge 67 used the 068 camshaft while the SD used the 744 camshaft. What is your source?

 

---

You are right. I said HO but should have said Ram Air. The profile on the cam was the same on 67 Ram Air 400 and SD 455, correct?
