67 Firebird rearend open to posi
I am working on a 1967 Firebird that has a 326 in it. We are adding a four speed automatic transmission. The rear end in it is an open 2.56 which is too high for fourth gear. The rear end is stamped XB. It has the mono leaf spring perches and factory traction bars. 8.2 rear end. We are looking for a posi unit that we could use 3.73 gears with. Does Auburn, Eaton, or Dana make a posi carrier that will fit into the original rear end housing? We have been told that the housing will not work with lower gear sets. The car is not going to be raced. Going to run street tires and do a burn out one in awhile. Not worried about the strength of the 8.2 since it's going to be a street car and not drag raced. Any advice or thoughts?

The axle housing itself will accept any factory or aftermarket 8.2" posi unit you want to put in it, you've been misinformed.
Put the tough Eaton posi in it, it will accept 3.36 and higher gears numerically (your 3.73s will work of course). |

I have seen QP brand on ebay that say they are "Eaton style" and less cost than Eaton. Any experience with this brand?

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.
