70 3.23 rear rebuild
I have a 70 442 with a 3.23 open rear, I purchased a posi carrier to convert it, also a pinion bearing and seal.......do you thing i will have a problem if i use the existing ring and pinion? or should i bite the bullet (so to speak) and spring for new ring & pinion.

For your axle bearings. That would be A9 or set9. What ever you do by a good quality bearing as I have had problems with the so called house brand bearings.

Not sure what list you are looking at.The 3:42 gear was optional with a 455 AC car.Two of my previous 70 W30 autos with AC had the 3:42's ordered with them.The other ones I have had,came with 3:23's.A friend had one with 3:08's.
I did meet someone about 10yrs ago,who had a 70 W30 auto,with AC,and it was specially ordered with 3:91's.
The 3:23 was the standard gear for a 455 AC car though,unless ordered differently.The 3:42 was optional.

I have the original 1970 Oldsmobile wholesale car order 4-4-2 model form for when you can select any option you would like from 1970 marked and filled out by the original owner. I also have a copy of the orginal book called Salemens prices, equipment etc. The same book the salesmen carried around in 1970 to shown what accersories and option cost and what was availible. Actual writing on form as quoted "G92 3.42 to 1 performance rear axle package-extra cost- includes anti-spin and heavy duty radiator(N.A. with "C60" or "Y72")
The option for air conditioning "C60" says C60 air conditioner (N.A. with "M21","G88" or "G92".
I am just repeating or quoting information in my hand. Please forward e-mail address as i can forward digital photos of paper work.

I've seen many of the same documents that state no 3.42 on AC cars, but my car does have it (no telling its original) but I know of two other folks who had W27 rearends on an AC W30 cars with 3.42s in them just like mine.

i will quote from the salesman liturature. C60 Air conditioner, four season-Includes heavy duty radiator. N.A. with G88 or G92. Availible with W30 only with M40,G91 and JL2. See power teams.
G88= 3.91

G91=3.23
JL2=disk power front
G88= 3.91
G92=3.42
G91=3.23
