Hello all...

I am Super-Sporting a nice 1973 Chevelle that I got last fall. I know it has the stock 10 bolt rear end (...and stock gears:boring: ). I have a new set of 4.10's for it :thumbsup:

Anyhoo, I was wondering if someone could confirm for me the gear size. I have read in a few places that it is 8.5", and I also read that prior to 1973 it was 8.2".

Just want to make sure I am buying the right size stuff.

Also, anyone know what series this carrier would be?

Thanks!!!

8.5" for a 73 and up

You will have the 8.5. You need to know what the original gears are to know what series differential you have. if it is a 2.56 or 2.41 it will be the 2 series. If it is a 2.73 to 3.73 it will be the 3 series. The 4.10 will go on the 3 series.

you probably have 2.73 gears with an 8.5" ring gear.
hmm.. yet another "ugly duckling" A body has shown up here. i've been noticing quite a few questions about the "forgotten" Chevelles lately.
this is a good thing..

I'vee been trying to talk a local guy out of his '73 Laguna for about a year now. It's all original and sitting under a tree waisting away.

Ha! Ugly Duckling...I like that. I bought the car CHEAP at an auction in the fall because everyone said "Eeeewwww". But it has new paint, a perfect interior, and a midly built 350. I have been gathering the very best in performance parts, and plan to build a nasty 400+hp 350 in the spring.

If it ain't pretty, at least it will be FAST!!

Thanks

Well, I like the '73.
