why is  it that the '65 shop manual calls for "4 1/2" pints of gear lube, 
but when you  go to add that much only 3 1/2 pints fit in the diff before it 
comes pouring  back out the fill hole? 


Randy,
An easy one there. The 1965 Shop Manual actually specifies a capacity of  
3.6 pints for a 4-spd, not 4-1/2. See spec, page 9.
