Pinion Flange Question (From Carlisle)

[Joe L.]

At Carlisle I had a conversation with someone regarding a differential pinion flange that was questionable as to application since the only part number on it had been written on with a felt pen. If that person is on the board please respond to this post and I may have some further information.

Joe that was me that you spoke with. I have the part in one of my storage boxes but will get it out later this weekend. Thanks for remembering our conversation. If you need the number will email it to later. Paul #18046

I could not remember the number after I got home; I should have written it down. Please advise.

Joe I saw in your profile you were a fuel pump jockey if you need a new job on your resume you should use (petroleum transfer specialist) would help in getting a job sounds important. Sent an email to you about the flange. Just kidding Paul #18046

Yes, I held that position on a part-time basis from about 1963 until about 1965. That was my last employment in the automotive field.

I responded to your e-mail regarding the flange. In brief, the part number which was written on the flange, GM #360913, is not the part number for ANY pinion flange. It's the part number for a half-shaft u-joint flange used from about 1975 to 1979 and SERVICE for 63-74.

My guess is that the flange is a GM #3879208, used for 68-70 Corvettes with THM400 and most 71-79 Corvettes as well as many other Chevrolet applications, too.
