Auto Parts: Chevy 10 bolt pos trac rear end, limited slip differential, salvage yard
QuestionHow do I tell if I have a 8.50 or a8.25 acrrier. Would either one go in my housing and are axles the same. I have a1970 camaro that needs a gear and a 1988 iroc that needs a carrier..
Answer The 1970 has an 8.25 carrier. They switched to 8.5 in 1973. A good used carrier shouldn't cost that much from a salvage yard. If you've got enough horsepower, now would be the time to fit lower gears and limited-slip differential. Even if you don't have a modified engine, you'd be surprised what a difference a set of 3.73 gears will make.
