Re: [Chevelle-list] looking for a yoke seal 8.2 Pontiac rear end

[Clint Hooper]

So,a 66 GTO with 389 tripower and 4spd would only have an 8.2 10 bolt while a Chevelle SS-396 with the mildest 396 and even a powerglide would come standard with a 8.875" 12 bolt? Doesn't seem fair,does it? Did the BOP 10 bolts have a 12 bolt ring gear?

Most GTO's that I have been around had the BOP 10. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Clint Hooper   Wouldn't a 66 Goat have a 12 bolt rear? How about a 66 Tempest?

I get mine locally at the Carquest store. Tell em you have a 66 GTO so you don't confuse them. Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Corgill That's the rear end in my 66 elky. 10 bolt posi, has no C-clips (I know cause I changed the bearings 7 yrs ago). The place I got them is no longer in business.  Have no idea how the rear got in my elky, maybe a shortage at GM? My Elky also has no hood spear. Weird. Anyone know where I should look?
