More "car guys " on here than I realized!
Bruce- that's a nice AMC!, I remember those well.
Wayne- that's a nice "Cutlass"!
Awesome that its your DD! Looks like you (should) have some hardware under that coat lol.
An old friend of mine had a cutlass like that built up with a big block.
He claimed 1/4m in the high 10's lol.
He didn't have the 9" though, and I recall he went through some rears!
On a sad note (DIY can be dangerous!), the poor fella died a couple years back of electrocution, pruning some tree limbs back near power lines with those aluminum chain saw extension poles (7000V).
~RIP Sean Loprinzi~.
I owned a couple of the old early Bronco's (a 69' and a 76') which also had the venerable "ford 9" rear".
Could beat them to hell off road, and know the rear axle wouldn't give even with oversize tires lol.
That third bearing in front of the pinion does the trick! Even the 1-2-ton Dana's (Dana 60-70-80) don't have them!
