12 Bolt rearend identity

The spring perches are in different locations on a 70+ camaro vrs a 70 nova. I seem to remember that 12 bolts in 71 camaros were early, then they went to the 8.5 corporate 10 bolt. I don't remember 12 bolts in 71 novas, but I expect they used any they had left over.

While on the subject, will the 10bolts they put in the later Novas sill bolt up to the 69 Camaros/Novas?

my original 71 Nova SS 4 spd had a 12 bolt, fun car, paid $400 for it use to eat IROC's and early 5.0 mustangs for breakfast. Those were the days

I think the pad with will be off 1/2 in each side.

Rob, I believe the 10 bolts from any 3rd gen Nova will but directly into a 1st gen camaro.
