What year 8.5 C clips? late 70s are actually 30 1 1/6 to 30 1/8 and Moser has them in 28 and 30 spline. Same length as 12 bolts but the 10 bolt has a shorter "button" on the cross shaft side of the C clip.

Too much free play can be because the clutch pack in the posi is worn.

Rear was from a mid 70's Nova and fits in my 68 firebird. The actual measurement from the outside wheel flange to the end of axle was about 29.6" ( there is some measurement uncertainty due to). It definitely seemed closer to 29.6 than 29.5. In addition to the original question how much play in/out should the axle have with a good condition posi?
