i can get my hands on an 8.2 rear posi carrier with 3.08 gears from 1969 for 200 bucks. is this worth the money?

If it's an Eaton I would say yes. The gears might not be worth anything, but a 3 series posi is. If it's an Auburn then I don't think I'd mess with it.

So they came from the factory as certain types of units? How do I tell what kind they r? The casting is edp-30116

The Eaton was the factory installed Posi. The Auburn is after mraket. The number that you listed is an Eaton number. I don't have my list of numbers with me right now, but that should be the 3 series Eaton for the 8.2.
