C-1 pumpkin question

[Bob Simard]

Can you get 3.08 gears to work in a 60 pumpkin w/posi? If so, where can one be obtained?

[Dennis C.]

Yes. you can... Out of my '62, but not 4 sale... *NM*

Bob,

I installed a 3.08 in my original 57 posi pumpkin.
I believe you can buy new 3.08 gears from Richmond Gear

Good luck,

I did it in my 57, too.

I bought a 60 pumpkin/posi unit with 3:70 gears and replaced them with a 3:08 gear set and diff rebuild kit from Bob's Rear Ends in CA when I also installed a Richmond 5-speed in my 57. (I can look up the info if you want.) Doing so lost about 800 rpm in 5th gear and helps me get 20+ mpg on the highway again. Over 15000 miles later I've had no problems at all.

Gears can be purchased at Summit Racing or Jeg's. Both have on line catalogs.

Do you think we have another methane source for our alternative HiPo fuel project?

Re: C-1 pumpkin question

I used a pumpkin out a 64 Chevy Passenger Car with 3.08s in my 57. Mine is a 4 speed car and they are nice on the highway.
