Re: rear diff needed for Pacer

A: I think only Pacer fits Pacer, but for that kind of money, he could have 
it shipped to Randy's ring and pinion (maybe there's one closeby? 
http://ringpinion.com ) Any Jeep shops? Internals are the same as early XJs.

Howdy:

A friend of mine caught the AMC bug from me and just
bought a '75 Pacer DL with auto tranny.  It has a
whine in the differential, and his mechanic says it
will cost about $1100 to rebuilt!  He was shocked and
sad that his new toy needed so much money put into it
right up front, so I told him to just stick in a used
one.  He is in South Bend, IN, and I do not know the
local parts yards that have AMCs in them.

Questions:

1. Anyone have a spare diff laying around they'd be
willing to part with?
2. What other AMCs of that vintage share the same
differential?  I hope that Gremlins and Hornets use
the same, maybe even the Matador??

Thanks, guys.
