[Chevelle-list] looking for a yoke seal 8.2 Pontiac rear end
That's the rear end in my 66 elky. 10 bolt posi, has no C-clips (I know cause I changed the bearings 7 yrs ago). The place I got them is no longer in business. Have no idea how the rear got in my elky, maybe a shortage at GM? My Elky also has no hood spear. Weird. Anyone know where I should look?

That's actually a better rear than the Chevy 10 bolt. It's a BOP 8.2 rear and parts are no problem. I get mine locally at the Carquest store. Tell em you have a 66 GTO so you don't confuse them.

My battery is not a maintenance free style and splits small amounts acid from the caps and after a drive it makes a perculating type sound. The cells are not over filled.

Re: [Chevelle-list] looking for a yoke seal 8.2 Pontiac rear end
So,a 66 GTO with 389 tripower and 4spd would only have an 8.2 10 bolt while a Chevelle SS-396 with the mildest 396 and even a powerglide would come standard with a 8.875" 12 bolt? Doesn't seem fair,does it? Did the BOP 10 bolts have a 12 bolt ring gear?

Re: [Chevelle-list] looking for a yoke seal 8.2 Pontiac rear end
Yeah, it was a little different than a Chevy. No the ring gear is 8.2 inches but different than the Chevy 8.2. Very few GTO's had 12 bolts, but to be honest with you, I don't remember it being a problem. Of course the tires of that period didn't hook up real good. My Tempest has the BOP 8.2 with Moser axles and an Eaton posi. I have more HP than any factory GTO hadand I haven't had any rear end trouble. At least not yet.
