The Bonne HO i parted out had 3.42 posi. I also parted out a 67 2+2 around the same time. It had 3.42 posi also. I sold both rear axles to the same guy.

Yup, once you start getting into the HO motors the gears changed most years.

I'm sure north will be along shortly to give you pictures of Instant Aire components as I'm fairly certain he has a car or two with it installed.

In the 1969 Service Manual is a section on automatic load levelers

I do have three cars that came with it from the factory (all Bonneville’s). The one in my late production wagon is quite different than the ones in the other two early production cars.

I can’t post any pics as I’m at my cottage for the next few weeks.

That’s the early version. The actual pump mounts on the spare in a cardboard tube

Thanks for the info! I’ll look in parts bins to see if I have any of the components. Engine was pulled 20 years ago and disassembled so its a puzzle of sorts

Btw, that car also has the combination optional gauges and speedwarning cluster, only other one I’ve ever seen is on my ragtop

Does your car have the power steering cooling lines, usually present on HO cars because of the 3.42’s

I've seen it in a 68 Grand Prix with 8 lugs but never the Bonneville. I owned a 67 Bonneville with a 428 but not the Hi compression motor with the 068 cam... There were many 428 69 Bonneville's but the HO is rare..

Yes it has the cooler lines. I haven’t seen another rally cluster with speed warning until this car
