<h3>1956 Stock gears. Note the tight fit between the gear teeth in the center. The tighter the fit, the LESS room for oil!</h3>

<h2>Packard vs Pontiac High Volume</h2>
<h3>Note the Pontiac has fewer teeth and square cut roots, both mean HIGH VOLUME. I do not have an Olds HV to show right now, but it is basically the same as the Pontiac.</h3>
