Is this a RARE REAR???
« on: August 01, 2009 - 12:38:10 PM »
I was told that this may be a rare rear, there are 9 bolts holding the back plate on. Is this a 8 1/4 or 7 1/4 rear.

That looks like a 7-1/4" unit.  Standard on slant-6 and on some 318 cars.  The 8-1/4" rear ends had 10 bolts.

Here's a chart to help ID them. Looks like you've got a 7 1/4.
