Ive got a whole pile of these rears laying around. They have 3.42 posi's and disc brakes. What is the spline count and width of these rears compared to the 8.5 in a G body? I think theyre 30 spline while ours are 28 or vice versa. I'd love to have rear discs. I can change the spring and control arm mounts pretty easily but I need to know the width of the housing. I know the bolt pattern is different as well.
 
dont know about the rears other than they are most likely too wide


but

do you have any injectors out of the throttle body of a 9c1 caprice? I really need some ...gotta be police package
 
They are 28 splines just like the G bodies, but use the junky Auburn Gear cone units. I say junky because they do not hold up to abuse like the Eaton clutch style carriers used on the G bodies.
Only trucks 8.5's will have 30 spline axles. The B body axles are too wide, the upper control arm ear angles are wrong and the bolt pattern on the ones with the rear discs are 5lug on 5" where all the G bodies had 5lug on 4 3/4" patterns.
