How can I tell if my 10 bolt out of my 69 camaro is a 8.2 or an 8.8 ring gear??? one of the replaced axles is a 28 spline, will this help point me in the right direction to identify????

Carl,
I can't answer your question, but was wondering what part of Maryland you live in?

Carl, all original firstgen Camaro 10 bolt rears used an 8.2" ring gear. 12 bolts had an 8.875" ring gear.

The newer "corporate 10 bolt" used an 8.5" ring gear. This rearend, as installed in Novas in the 70's, was a drop in replacement in a firstgen camaro.

All 3 used exactly the same 28 spline axles.

Does the cover have what looks like a big eyebrow stamped into it or is is smooth ?
