60ch Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I am setting the ring and pinion in my 29 Dodge. I cannot find a source for the paste used to set the tooth contact pattern. I have Prussian Blue but it is dark and hard to read. Many of the articles and videos on the net show a bright yellow paste being used but do not say where it can be bought. Any ideas? Thank you, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 They used to use a paste of white lead in oil. No doubt this has been taken off the market. Does your local auto parts store have anything for marking gears? Summit Racing should sell something for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silverghost Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 NAPA, Jegs, also sell gear marking compound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Your local GM dealer should also have the gear marking compound. The GM part number is #1052351. Here is a link from a website. The retail price at the dealer will probably be more than the online price, but you might take a copy of the web site in and see if they will match the price. I would guess the price would be between $13.00-20.00.1052351 - GM Gear Marking Compound - Yellow - 1 Oz tube - For Differentials Etc. - 1052351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
