Title: Leaf springs
Post by: jimbo67rag on April 06, 2011, 03:01:49 PM
Were the single leaf springs only offered on the 67 or where they on any other first gens?  Did they come single on any novas? I just picked up a posi rearend with single leaf and the guy told me it was original to a 69 camaro.  Thanks Jimbo

ok Captain John      this is what i have been able to determine as far as this rear end goes. it is not a posi,much to my dismay. The ring gear shows it to be a 308 gear built in feb 1969. On the pass side front of the axle housing it is stamped PA 0217 C 1.  If you look at the back of the diff cover as if it were a clock,with 1200 being straight up dead center of the cover,to the left at about 10 oclock on the housing is stamped B 49( upside down) To the right about 2 oclock on the housing is stamped con 1 (upside down). To the left of the cover on the housing about 8 oclock is stamped 67890. Hope i have explained this relatively clearly. If you know what any or all of these stamps mean please educate me. Help me if you can.  Jimbo

Looks like it's a 308 non-posi unit built Feb. 17 69. The C is probably a G and built by first shift. B 49 is cast date meaning Feb. 4th '69. Here's the link to all this.
