Be sure to keep watching and hopefully we will be able to post a short video when we start the motor. Good luck with your 64!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684954968048538486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913488931787572506.post-61634164783400456102010-08-17T08:29:17.945-04:002010-08-17T08:29:17.945-04:00Hi John

Go figure that one <br /> cheers PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913488931787572506.post-240892444059325972010-08-02T21:08:50.472-04:002010-08-02T21:08:50.472-04:00Wilson!

(Lester H. for those that don't follow this blog religiously) I am going to refurbish the pumpkin simply because it doesn't have any slop and it turns smoothly. My intention is to sand blast, paint, intall, pop the cover, drain the oil, wipe it down, fill with new oil and add a special additive made specifically for the Corvette's limited slip differential.<br /><br />Good question about the splines. All 4 universal joints that make up the rear axle are bolted directly to the pumpkin and the wheel hubs/axles. There are no splines in the rear end assembly. The only spline in the entire drivetrain is at the transmission output shaft. And honestly, I am not sure why they even put one there because both the transmission and the pumpkin are bolted solid to the frame. Go figure.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684954968048538486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913488931787572506.post-41830987211397817432010-08-02T20:51:22.146-04:002010-08-02T20:51:22.146-04:00Jim,

Are you going to tear the pumpkin apart and rebuid the internals???<br /><br />Question about the Yokes in the last post......how do they "grab"...aren't they suppose to have splines???
