Another Caprice part arrived today, so I decided to make my own Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
My trip to the MVD was extremely pleasant, really. No waiting! Got my new title and license plate for the Caprice. The guy that handled my transactions was a car guy and complimented me on buying such a low mileage Chevy.

That picture brings back some memories. It's been a long time since I owned car that had a bumper jack.

As of yesterday, it was in Ohio and is heading west today. There will be some pick ups and drop offs as he heads to AZ. They originally said it would be here on or before 12/10, and I was told it will definitely be here next week well before 12/10.
It originally had a 396 installed at the factory. Although I have some investigation to do, it appears this car has a racing history somewhere in California. The original 396 was replaced with a solid lifter 427, which it has now. Haven't done valve adjustments in years, but it's easy. Hope you and yours are safe Jan!

C'mon L88!
... it's possible. Also possible it's still the numbers matching 396 with L88 cam, and rebadged. That would also be sweet! Would also explain the rear gears.

I'm not sure I'm willing to live with those 4.10 gears, but I'll give them a try.
It will be interesting to see what code is stamped on the rear housing as to what gears were in their originally. If he code is for 4.10's, might as well just leave them in there. The speedometer is accurate, so the correct speedo gear is in the transmission.
