Re: [AMC-list] "big nut" axle pinion seal, available on RockAuto?!

IIRC that step seal stayed in use until at least 69 on the 15. My American has one.

If it's really the stepped seal, and not a flat seal from a later model that someone figured "should fit" and consolidated part numbers to, GET ONE. In fact, anyone with an American with the "big nut" driveshaft who plans on keeping it a while should probably consider ordering one! They ARE generally unobtainable. One showed up on e-bay a couple years ago and I lucked out and got it. I just put the most I would give for it ($7 or so?) and if no one else bid it would be mine... and they didn't. I don't run a "big nut" car now, but just in case...

By the way, that would be any 1950-55 Nash Rambler, or 58-65 American w/ any of the 196 engines or a 199.

I thought they were 100% unobtanium? Two choices, no less. Now I haven't
tried to buy one, but I might, for no good reason. Mine's not leaking. (Why
should I buy a fire extinguisher? I'm not on fire.)
