Re: Looking for posi for AMC 20

I might look into that, but I'm not getting just a chatter! What I'm getting is a definite clunk-clunk-clunk...  Like a Detroit locker ratcheting. But if I give it a little power it stops, so might be the clutches. It has the correct lube in it, but I may get some of the GM stuff and check oil level. ow I'll feel real stupid if I look and discover the level is way low (shouldn't be, car mostly sat for a year, 3K miles on it the year I was in Korea at the most). But I won't tell... ;>
