jack that bad boy up, and get the axle code off the axle, go to the parts store and buy a hanyes manual (if you dont have one) and it will tell you in there

or just give me the axle code when you get it and ill tell ya what you got

o and i cant believe i left this out but the axle code is stamped on the front of the right axle housing, you might have to clean it up a little bit to be able to read it

If you have a 9 bolt there should be some tags on the left and right side of the cover held on by one of the bolts.

a 9 bolt? do you mean 9 inch, but thats a ford rear. did they really make 9 bolts?

yes a 9 bolt. It was in 87-90 Irocs only I think. It was a Borg Warner unit made in Austrailia. Mine came with aluminum disc brake calipers. It had a larger ring gear then the 10 bolt at the time. I think the 10 bolt was 7.50" and the 9 bolt was 7.75". It was the performance unit put in the Irocs.

my 90 rallysport has the 9 bolt borg warner rear end too.

so does my 89 IROC, but also, look in the glove box, for the three digit build code that is GU# the number being between 2-6 that post it here, and i can tell you what gear ratio you are running, much cleaner tht way. ;)

You mean the center console??? Everyone that gets in my car always wonders why theres no glove box.

It is GU6

damn that code is not in the book, you sure its the right one??

yupppers

So it must be a 10 bolt then. Does it have drum brakes?

yes a 9 bolt. It was in 87-90 Irocs only I think. It was a Borg Warner unit made in Austrailia. Mine came with aluminum disc brake calipers. It had a larger ring gear then the 10 bolt at the time. I think the 10 bolt was 7.50" and the 9 bolt was 7.75". It was the performance unit put in the Irocs.

wow. well thats the one thing i learned for today. i never knew that.

Did that rear end come in a open rear end?

ohh, and it has disk brakes in the back

Did what rear end come open?? The 9 bolt??? It came in both posi and open if thats what you mean.
