Thread: 10 bolt identification-need help

Tweet

I just pulled the cover off the rearend in my 1966 el camino. I know that this is not the rearend that came in this car. I discovered that it has an Auburn posi carrier and a Richmond 4.11 ring and pinion. I don't know which 10 bolt this is as they made many diff 10 bolt rears. I took this number off: 9779822.
Any help is much appreciated.

The 10 rear end I am using is out of a 64 el camino and it is the 8.2' ring gear. I think they only made then until 1970 or so. It is easy to idnetify by the cover.

thanks for the info

if you are restoring that rear, try spraying the POR15- metal mask. This stuff looks great on rearends.

Flanker,hope this helps you out some.the 10-Bolt with a 7.5ring Gear common to the '82-94'Camaro/Firebird is the weakest.The'64-'72 10-Bolt Camaro/Chevelle/Nova measures 8.2 across the ring gear.The stongest of the 10-Bolt's is the 8.5 it came in a variety of GM models '70-'81 Comaro,Gto,Firebird '70-'75 ChevyII and'70-'76 Chevelle.Measure your ring gear to see if you have a 7.5/8.2/or 8.5.Ifyou have a 8.5 this is what it could have come out of,Buick Apollo'73-'77/Comaro'70-'81/ Chevelle'70-'76/ Firebird TA'70-'81/Grand National '84-'87/ Gto-Lamans '71-'77/ Impala '70-'76/ MONTE-CARLO'71-'77/Nova '70-'75/Olds F-85'70-'76/ Regal '73-'77 hope this helps you out.
