Don't trade ... buy the 2.76 from him or get a 2.76 open diff cheap somewhere
keep the 3.91 and swap when you fell like playing with the stump puller gears for a while then swap back.
Pretty easy with 8 3/4 rears and doesn't really take to long

I've been mulling that also tallhair! I still have the original 2.76 open from the rear end I pulled outta the 67 nyer I had. Like you said not a difficult job to swap them either! I think you helped seal the deal!! Might as well keep them both!!
Cheers if you change your mind just give the 3.91 setup to me

Looks to me like you have to hot a spark there. I know you have spent a ton of money on this, but I would use the factory electronic set up, good for 7,000 rpm and you can use the factory wires.

It's possible. But too hot for what? The cap,the wires or both? I'll probly end putting an msd distributor and wires on before I go back to a stock set up. Not that I'm above the factory ingnition but as you stated I'm already pretty deep with the 6al set up between the box,coil and the wiring that I've done.

Today's project: I've been battling with radio placement as of late! Eventually the radio will be going in the dash in place of the 2 center vents. For now I've fashioned a rudimentary mounting system . It's not as pretty as I like but will do until I pull the dash.....at which time I will weld the holes I just made,rebuild the harness and make my spot for the radio. Here's a few pics of my mess!
Started out with a couple pieces of angle
Split emdown the middle to follow the contour of the dash
Painted both sides
Mounted them to the bottom of the dash
And finally mounted the radio
Almost perfect ;)
I'll probly come up with something to cover the ugly on the sides.....for now this'll do! Now I can listen to some zz some cash among other things.

I think 3.23 gears would be the way to go in this car, 2.76 is way too tall. 3.23's are pretty common.

Just a bit considering the holiday weekend . Woulda been nice to make the uncountable car shows and parades.
that would be the sweet spot. Eventually I'll regear the sure grip. For now I'll swap in the 2.76 for long trips

Little update for the ole boat! Well about 7weeks ago my MSD digital 6al took a crap on me on the way home from the parts store. To MSDs credit they warrantied it almost 3 months out of warranty. So I got my "fixed" box back Friday. I drove up to the gas station for my 25yr habit of reds in the box, drove home(3/4 mile) all was great. Let it cool.....check my fluids(I put trans #3 in) fire it up..... Ima guess 20 mins of total run time with the "repaired" box and it dies. The box took a sh*t again..... Hacked an ole Mopar hei I had in the top of the barn....and shes been "not bad" since. Had a Mopar brother come and confirm my wiring was as it should be and am still scratching my head as to why this thing doesn't like the MSD. So......I'm gonna send it back to them to fix it again . Not sure if I'm gonna keep it tho. But thanks to Ma Mopar I was able to cruise for the 4th!!

Stan.. I know ......but...This is my 1st experience with them. Almost 3 months outta warranty they fixed it for free...didn't have to.... And shipped it back to me..... None the less 20 minutes of run time after a "warranty" repair...(they'll fix it again)....doesn't instill a lot of confidence from me. My biggest ***** is the time spent wiring the SOB. Either way Ma Mopar got me thru the 4th. Not sure why but I feel a tad more patriotic in my boat! So when I get it back..... MSD FOR SALE!! With full disclosure!;)
