Can anyone tell from these pictures if this 10 bolt is a 8.2 or 8.5?

It looks like it might be a 8.5 from the pics. Do you have a shot of the rear cover.

This might help: http://www.novaresource.org/axle.htm

Ditto...The castings that stick out on each side on the bottom of the center section look to make it a 8.5". My 8.5 (in my 68 Camaro) has those.

That's what I thought.

1969 Camaros did NOT come with a 8.5 correct?

Should be an 8.2 for a stock 10 bolt.

no they didnt in 69 but i do know an early 70's nova rear bolts right in, so its an easy swap that could have been done along the way
