1967 Coronet 'Restoration'

[67r/t4speeder]

First things first. I need to get it off of jack stands and make it roll again.

To do that I bought a 3.91 center chunk and axles from Dr. Diff

Is this one of those new case differentials? How does it look?

[Piper]

It looks great, the center section looks a lot different to me. I've heard great things about it.

It come with a Eaton sure grip or a Auburn?

[Piper]

He calls it a Sure Trac, check it out.

Some other updates, engine builder called about the motor, he went to put the cam bearings in and the last journal is egg shaped, said the variance is from 4 to 7 thousandths between them. He is going to see about oversized bearings and line bore it.


Also looking for one bucket seat...I've been stocking piling these parts for years.

it's the more modern Eaton unit... much strong than a clutch type Eaton or a Auburn... acts like a peg leg when driving normal, but when nail it, it engages.

Pretty slick

[Piper]

Some progress nothing to exciting other to document what I'm doing. Rear is in, need to get driver axle in

Notes for posterity: Center Section to Housing torque to 45 foot lbs and axle flanges 35 foot lbs.

[Piper]

Rear is in and back on the ground for the first time in years

Awesome! That has to be a good feeling

[67r/t4speeder]

Always a good feeling to get em back on the ground.
