If you do get it off, rent a large torque wrench to torque to spec. Buying one will spin your cap off. Automatic coupes had the 2.59 gear ratio while convertibles came with 3.07. The donor car for my project was a droptop. The D36 with 2.59 ratio was RPO GM1. The 3.07 was RPO G44. Maybe the tags the other gurus are telling you about will have one of these RPO's. But understand this information is for 1995 cars. I think they are the same for your 1990, but I'm not that up to date. Here's a photo of the rear of a D36. One single bolt at top-middle. Good luck! My avatar is a picture of my dog Tank. He had to be put down three years ago - I'm still not over it. Rotties are the best dogs in the world. |
