    Thanks, Reason I am asking is I am plannig on doing the swap meet this weekend and am hoping to just find the posi center chunk. I really dont need the entire rear as my housing is done and installed. The yoke being the part the drive shaft connects to. So the plan is to measure the ring gear and make sure its 8" right? and then make sure the axle bearing gears turn in the same direction ?

     

    You know what we sometimes deal with out there. folks who where told this and that and never confirm the parts. hell, even some parts house guy dont have a clue.

    I think I would take a gasket with me to lay on the center section your buying as quick check if I wasn't sure of the difference. Make sure it fits on your housing before you leave.

    Another way you can make sure it's a posi is in an open rear you can see the spider gears. On a posi it will will have a clutch pack in the center.

    On an 8" you can get to all the mounting bolts with a socket on the outer edge that bolts to the housing. A 9" the lower left you can't, not sure what you mean about turning the yoke will spin both outer?

    If you turn the yoke it will spin both axels, if posi it will turn them both in the same direction, if non-posi it will turn the axels in opposite directions.

    Actually it looks like you push to turn on sport lamps, pull to turn it off. At least thats how mine is working. Its not in the owner manaul and the switch and plug only goes in one way. Cant beieve I am asking this but is that the way its supposed to work? Push on, and pull off?

    hmmmm....that would seem backwards. And that does help thanks.

    I custom made my PS bracket and is is in a "U" shape as well then cross bolted through the frame and well as the two factory bolts up from underneath. Let me try and dug up a pic. And I agree 100% a lot of fitment issues are car to car.

     

    02lightnin, your car looks like the last of the 69's based on your born on date huh? What plant did yours? Mines San Jose March 6th 1969. Bruce

     

    I'm not sure when they stopped production on the 69's, but mine is a dearborn car. Sounds like you did the same as me with the bracket. On the cross bolt I put a spacer between the bracket and the frame.

    I’ve got the 6114 - Hooker Headers Super Comp with the drop bracket and I seem to have more than 3/32 clearance. I think it’s the differences in the cars. The problem with the drop bracket is it will eventually rip the weld nuts out of the frame because of the angle change on the power steering causing added force on the bracket. What I did to remedy this is make the L-shaped bracket a U-shaped bracket with a spacer for the bolt that goes through the frame. Been running this for a few years with no problems! Oops.. you said auto didn't you... I have a 4-speed.
