At my wits end on the pinion seal: 64 GTO

Ever since we finished our 64 GTO about 8-10 years ago, we've had a hard time keeping a good pinion seal in the car. Each new one would last about 20-30 miles and then it would start leaking again. ...

Yes, L79 = 350hp/327. All numbers matching: body, trans, axle, engine, even the original door panels. All of the trim is either restored original pieces or were NOS when the car was restored.

In my book, the 327 was the best small block Chevy they ever made.

Not a GTO thing, but I'm still proud of it

The L79 is ready to go back into the Chevelle. I know this is not GTO related, but I'm very proud of this car and can't wait to get it back together.
