<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> '68-70 Pontiac continues to build the same 8.2 10 bolt for low & moderate horse cars...some are even avail with the 4 pinion Safe-T-Track carrier. For GTO's & Birds with HD Safe-T-Track option, Pontiac engineers specify a special nodular iron center section & hot forged axles, along with a 4 pinion Safe-T-Track unit. The composition of the nodular hsg is such that it will resist flex in the pinion bearing areas upon extreme torque loading (pinion is trying to rise). The stronger axles are also welcomed.

Roger, how can one identify the 'special nodular iron center section ? Is there any different external markings on this 8.2 center?
