Hey Guys/Gals,
   I'm in trouble. I am having problems with a diff (66) leaking at the seal 
with the Tranny (65)...
   Let me giove you some history....I have a 65 monza vert...It spun a 
rearend bearing. I bout a 66 to put in it...I put them together using a gasket from 
the 1980's...I torqued properly. LEAK...
   Thinking I had an old gasket, I ordered 3 more....(good thing too)...I 
took apart, cleaned mating surfaces, put the gasket on, applied gasket sealant, 
and torqued....LEAK.....
    Now, I'm upset..I looked at the seal and the only place it is leaking is 
where the 65 tranny is a little lower than the mating surface of the 66 Diff...
    As someone wrote in the Tech Supplement- the diff is the least explained 
and least wrote about system in the whole powertrain.
   I hope to hear from more than a few of you!! (hint-hint)
