'70-'72 Pontiac A-bodys w/ 6cyl, 350, & 400 engines used 8.2 Pontiac 10 bolts with tapered bearing axles. The tapered bearing axles were alarge improvement but the 8.2 was still saddled with small pinion bearings & small ing gear to pinion gear area.
'70-72 Pontiac A-bodys factory equipped with 455 received Pontiac's version of the Chevy 12 bolt. stronger than the avg 12 bolt Chevelle but hampered by c-clip axle retention. The 8.5 corporate A-body rearend was not used in a Pontiac A-body till '73 (new bodystyle-different rearend hsg geometry), though the 8.5 A-body was used by Buick & Olds in '71-72.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
