Progress working in a rear axle.
I wanted rear discs and a higher ratio of 3.73 is ok with the new overdrive trans anyway.
This axle out of a 99 to 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee uses the same 5 on 5 bolt pattern as Packard. However it was a coil spring rear axle so I had to grind off all the mounts. Removing paint and rebuilding it now. The pig is cast aluminium so I am thinking I will polish that. Here are some pics.

Merry Christmas
John

I thought I would start one of these. I have had the car since the summer of 2018. It is now drivable after completing the following:
All Power Steering hoses
All brake wheel cylinders and hoses
Rebuilt carb
Recored Radiator
Rewire front lighting
Fuel Pump
Spark Plugs
Air Filter
Points & Condenser
Radiator Hoses

I am working on the following:
GM 4L60e Transmission using Bendtsens Speed Gems adapter
I want overdrive
Building a MegaShift (MegaSquirt) Transmission Controller for the 4L60e
Will need to convert to 12v for the transmission and future Air Conditioning.
Disk Brake Rear Axle from a 99-04 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

That should keep me busy for now.

What is it? The wiring diagram says they run off the same pin on the headlamp switch as the parking lamps which dont work on my car. Tails and headlamps do work. Turn signals do to.

I am sure it's me. I see 2 lines. One goes to the middle top and there is some other small tube coming out near there too. The other line goes to the back and I cant see where it goes exactly. Just way back there.


The picture is 90 degrees counter clockwise. Phone pic.

By top I assume you mean middle top not back top?

Thanks
