Gear oil for final drive.

I've looked at both this website and randakks for info on gear oil for the final drive
This website suggests (75w-90)
Randakks suggest (90/100w)

And I have on hand
"Lubrimatic" (80w/90)
hypoid gear oil.

Would it be okay if I just used that so I don't have to buy any?

Absolutely. Use it.

Thank you, I used that oil and greased the splines now I think the final drive is happy.

Sadly now Im back to working on the carbs though, got them off and saw one of the slides weren't moving in my #3 (rear right carb) which I checked first because the manifold was ice cold, (thought the float bowl was stuck)
After this stuff it might run not terribly like before.

Hope you used High-Moly Paste instead of grease on the splines. 60% or 77% Moly. Regular grease will simply get squished out of there causing spline wear. These splines require the Moly in the lube.

... On with the carburetors...
