Re: 12 bolt shoppers beware !!!!!!
Jeez, I've known guys to redrill 10 bolts to 12 bolts for YEARS! I actually did it the other way around in my 66 GTO.. 12 bolt with a 10 bolt cover...[actually kept the 12 bolt cover just filled the big whoop with bondo...and drilled new holes]

Re: 12 bolt shoppers beware !!!!!!
A fast
 question if you please.12-bolt rears actually refer the the number of bolts used to affix the ring gear to the carrier - correct? Are the 10 bolt and 12 bolt housings the same size? Can a 12 bolt carrier be installed in a 10 bolt rear? I wouldn't think so. Can someone just clarify for me? Jim, why would someone disguise a 12 bolt rear as a 10 bolt? I'm lost on that one..... Steve

Re: 12 bolt shoppers beware !!!!!!
You know, I don't want to bash the Pontiac's as I personally
like the 69 GTO & 70-73 Formula's, but what gives with Pontiac? Ram Air IV with a Rochester carb, 10-bolt rear? Did Pontiac know something the rest of the car makers didn't or did they not know as much? At least the RA4 got an aluminum intake...  Steve
