Hey guys, need some help with something that im sure will sound dumb, 70 Strato Chief, sbc, th350, 10 bolt, now im in the process of ordering gears and keep seeing B.O.P 10 bolt with 27 spline or chev car 10 bolt, 25 spline, i know the motor and trans are chev but what about the diff? Im going with richmond 355's and an auburn posi and want to make sure i order the right stuff. Thanks for your input Dave
Thank you sir, was there any way for me to know that so i don't come up with more silly questions? Such as , the moog coil springs i ordered are for an Imp and i see in their book a listing for a Catalina, same year, did i order wrong springs? Cause teh PN#'s are not the same. Thnx Dave
FULLSIZE CANADIAN PONTIACS WERE BUILT ON CHEVY IMPALA FRAMES WITH CHEVY IMPALA SUSPENSIONS AND CHEVY DRIVE-TRAINS.
No need to yell...lol, thanks again, that actually clears all of today's dumb questions up and makes me feel lot's better. now onto ordering gears, and diff, and convertor, and heads, and pushrods, and rockers, and ps conversion, and pb conversion, and and and and and and and and
Don't EVER think a question is to simple or silly!! 68427 wasn't hollering! his caps were stuck It takes a lot of practice, to remember the Cdn Pontiacs are Impala drivelines... lol I have some alunimum spacers if you want to set "up" the rear by 1.5 inches ....
Cool, yah i was a little confused about how much of teh car is an Impala. Im actually going to cut a coil out of the new rear coils i got to get it to sit a bit lower, not import/lowrider low, just down a bit to tuck in the 275'60/15's. With the 2" drop spindle from the cpp brake kit and 235/60/15's up front should sit nice i hope. Im just doing my winter collection of parts so in the spring a can assemble everything. So far lot's of parts ordered, and lot's more coming, Summit loves me, Visa loves me, wife..........well not so much. When she asks if the car is going to be loud im not sure how to answer that with a straight face, ( 10:1, long tubes, comp thumpr, 3" two chambers and turndowns....hmmm........
Yes, simplest way to remember is think of it with the body off. If you picture the body off and the rest sitting there on the floor as a rolling chassis, that is an Impala you are looking at. Ignore the parts books, a lot of them do not recognize Canadian Pontiacs as even existing.

it gets trickier when you get into the car. Pedals (including park brake mechanism) are Chevy. I'm not sure about the column. If you had a console, that'd also be Chevy.

Yes, I made sure to stay clear of anything above the frame when I stated that. Once you're in the body, it's either Chev, Pontiac or Canadian Pontiac only!
