as some of you know,someone stoled my original 454 for my monte. so i had to buy another motor. what i found by accident about 5 years ago was a 1973 chevelle 454. if i researched my numbers correctly.
T0802CWA

our new house with a soon to be parts haven.... - Page 2 454210

and part of the vin number 137(Z?)5000

our new house with a soon to be parts haven.... - Page 2 454310

if someone out there still has this chevelle with this vin number,i will sell it for (pinky to mouth)$1,000,000.00

OK so i took the cover off the posi. it is not a bolt in axel type,it has C-clips. dont know if i should be happy or cry.

our new house with a soon to be parts haven.... - Page 2 Posi_110

the mini bolt is still intacked

our new house with a soon to be parts haven.... - Page 2 Posi3-10

there are numbers on the carrier

our new house with a soon to be parts haven.... - Page 2 Posi2-10

410 403 GM61

and i tried to count the teeth. if im right i have 41 on the BIG gear,and 15 on the pinion. so im guessing again that i have a 2:73 posi. i dont know how i came up with the 3:42 in previous message. guess thats just what was in my head since i pulled it out of a $40.00 parts car 17 years ago.

I'ts on the drivers side exactly where JB says...I used PB Blaster & a small wire brush, found it no problem under similar rust conditions. You'll prob need a nice bright flashlight too.
