1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 daily driver build
Pulled the axles & third member out to see what was in there. I knew it had the 742 case third member but didn't know what was in it to make it not an open diff. Lukily it turned out to be the stock 742 clutch type & not a spool or the cone type. It looks all fresh and rebuilt. I checked it with a dial indicator & it's good. I did the initial count of the tire rev vs driveline revs & thought it was 4.10:1 & that's exactly what it turned out to be.
Put the rear end back together & it's ready to go. The thing is super clean underneath, not sure what they painted it with but it's a glossy black from below the firewall back to the rear valance.
Just waiting on the seats to come back from the upholstery shop then I can drive it down to the muffler shop & start driving it.
I will drive it a little then pull the motor & get the crack fixed then start daily driving on dry days. I need windshield & rear window seals before it can be in the rain.
