    The casting #EDB-30174 is a GM 12-Bolt 4 series posi carrier. It appears to be a standard unit. The posi units used in COPO cars had larger side gears, and smaller gears on the cross shaft, thus were machined differently inside to fit the side gears. Were it the HD (COPO) unit, it would be worth considerably more.

    Sounds like a 4 series posi. Check the spline count on it. I don't know what the possibilities are.

    Tell him it isn't rocket science. 41 10 = 4.10.

    Chevy gears in the early years were 9 -37 BUT after realizing that the tooth contact was less they gave MORE teeth to make better tooth contact between the the number of teeth that touch at once. 10 -41 More teeth means less heat and more strength.
