What were the most common rear end ratios for the 1975 and up 260/Auto powered Venturas and cousins?

Joe, Hey there [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]. Prob know, but not everyone does, have to watch the '75+ X bodies, as many Buick & some Pontiac X-body rears in the late 70's will only have 7.5's. Personally have had better luck finding 3.08's in the '73-74 X-body rears. I have yet to double ck width by mocking up rears, but '72-74 X-body takes a different part # axle than '75 up. I seriously believe the 72-74's are a slight bit narrower.
If you are at Awesome, & you come across a couple of these rears, might as well pull the rear covers & pop the axles. The axle claim ratio on these X body rears is really getting bad with most of the axles pitted on the bearing lands. I've been gutting the X body's on the spot to see what I'm buying, as the mgmt of the local Pick-n-Pull's can't be trusted to remember that they owe me a pair of good axles...Last I counted, after paying full r/e price for rears with no axles, I was owed 5 pair of axles, & I doubt I ever see 'em.

Thanks Roger. One is a 76 Omega and the other may be a 75 Apollo or Skylark. The owner has no idea and couldnt care less. I'll go take a look.

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.
