Hey,
Im looking to put some 4.10 gears into my 72 Chevelle Malibu, It has the original 10 bolt rear end on it and I don't know how to tell if its 8.2 or 8.5 and how many spindles it has. Any help would be great

My guess is it is an 8.2!
Years Used on Chevelle Malibu: (1964 - 1972)
10 bolt cover with 8.2" ring gear. Uses 28 spline c/clip axles. The 68 up housing and axles are an inch wider than 64-67. Some early Chevelles (like SS) had 12 bolt housings and the cover will tell the story.

It's probably an 8.2. Best way to tell, look at the casting numbers on the pumpkin, and also pull the cover and look at the numbers on the ring gear.
