Couple questions? thanks in advance for any help
I have a 8 3/4 differential i found in my warehouse (yes, sad i don't label stuff).
1. "742" case, date stamp "7G12": what date is that?
2. its a 2.76 "Sure Grip" (47 teeth on ring (p/n 2070684), 17 teeth on pinion): IF any car had a sure grip option for a tall gear it would be a C body. Any such thing from the factory to anybody's knowledge?
3. an aside...the original case markings (white paint - "817" on other side, stripes on the bottom, even one stray mark showing about in lower right of top picture) were under the grease on the bare cast iron...that make sense?
i thought they were painted from factory -- no?
4. yes, i have the snubber too. it was greased up pretty good so its soaking.
5. 30-spline axles
