Thanks Bob:
Just talked to Reider Racing.

The tech support guy there at Reider was super. He has hooked me up with a local differential specialist in my town who can perform the entire regearing job, if I decide to go that direction.
The car could be layed up about three days.
Sounds like a good job to do during the January - March snow / ice / muck season hiatus. I just have to ponder if I should leave my 4.11 rear in or go to something in the 3.x range.
Thanks for that tip on Reider Bob.
BTW, I did the trannie and differential
oil and brake fluid changes this weekend during the Sunday rains. Put the car up on jackstands. A little scary doing this "elevation" for the first time. Learned that the Front goes up first then the Rear. Likewise, the rear comes down first then the front. Hydraulic jack placement is key. Especially on the descent!
Hard to find the Amalie LSD additive in my local auto supply haunts, (franky, Amalie is not too common here abouts) but a call to Amalie got me hooked up with a supplier in Ansonia, CT.
The Moroso Climbing Gear lube is also difficult to find in stock anywhere locally, but Summitt had it at the door in short order.
My old (fatigued) manual fluid evacuation pump proved inadequate for the task of replenishing the heavy trans and differential oils. So I replaced it with a new manual suction gun. What a difference having the right tool makes, eh? To be honest with you, any excuse to buy new tools is great, especailly if they are not too expensive.
So #375 was out on the roads Monday taking in the autumn splendor. Got pulled over by a Policeman in Prospect. I was a bit concerned at first. I was going slow and missed no stopsigns or lights. The officer walked up from his car carrying a cup of coffee and a donunt. He just wanted to know what the car was. He was surprised it was made in New Britain! Boy he said, Those are some Serious Seat Belts!
I hope this does not happen too often! Sheesh.
