OK, I'm thinking of a new carrier for my '71 10-bolt.
Who's got the best prices for Auburns or Eatons? Which one is better?

Jeg's has Auburn units for $350, I,m sure Summit is within a nickle of that. Find a reputable shop to set it up. Expect to pay $150 to $250 for the job.

I've heard good things and bad about Eaton. That's why I'm leaning towards an Auburn. What do you guys think?

I installed the Eaton unit and Mosler Axles. Never have had any trouble, even when i made some hard passes on slicks, I,m not saying it is bullit proof. But it has proved to be a great Street/strip set-up for me

You won't find Auburn from Sumitt and Jegs is the cheapest that I had seen bar none. I searched all sorts of suppliers and Jegs was the cheapest. It was a couple of months ago $329, but now its $349.

If I have a 2.73 open rear now and I buy the posi unit, gears and install as a kit can I convert my rear to a 3.23 or 3.55 or is there more involved?

Thanks a bunch, guys. I've heard of Tom's from someone else. The name Zuess triggers something in my memory. He liked them.
BJ, I believe there are no wierd modifications necessary if you buy a carrier and gears. They're all made to work together. Another question: Is OEM brand greas any good? How about Precision brand gears?

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.
