  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I have a 1970 Electra stock everything and I know that the rear end is some sort of 12 bolt but not like the regular GM 12 bolt :Do No:
    I need to know what kind it is so that i can get some sort of locker or limited slip for it

    We need pictures and measurements . It would be best if you could measure the carrier out of the rear. sectional width ring gear diameter etc. Jim

    SharpSabre455 Sloan says "It's Rare!"

    GMStroker:

    If the rear end is stock, you have a 9 3/8" rear end, probably 2.90's gear ratio if it's not a posi and the car does not have a lot of options. There are 10 bolts on the cover, but 12 bolts inside on the carrier. If they're set up correctly, they're almost "bullet-proof."

    Parts are VERY difficult to come by, especially if you want to change the gear ratio. There are many posts concerning these rear ends on this board that have a ton of good info. Hope this helps!

    Thanks, yep the rear end is completely stock and i was afraid that parts would be almost impossible to come by. Is there anyone who has gears, spools, etc. for them or would i be better off goin with a whole different set up? Say maybe a Dana, or a 12bolt?
