Got the oil pan welded up yesterday and then spent the remainder of the day cleaning up the Chevelle. Took all 4 wheels off the car, put it on jack stands and really cleaned everything up. Then decided to put the lighter wheels on.
Well today I was on the way to a cruse-in this morning when I blew the ring & pinion out of the rear-end.... The light turned green and I just eased into the throttle at first and then planted the pedal to the floor. The car shifted from 1st to 2nd at about 6200, and then the rear gear said no thanks. Guess it didn't appreciate the added traction of the ET Street Radials too much.
Had to get my ramp truck, but I still made it to the cruise-in!
Guess I am going to swap out the 3.42 for a 3.73 now.
