JL8 diff axles?
Hello guys,I have a sort of a wierd question.First I'll explain the story:Many years ago,about 15,I purchased a 1st Gen Camaro/Firebird 12 bolt for my '68 Acadian that I was building and noticed the the diff had bigger brake mounting flanges on it.Normal 10 & 12 bolts have square flanges but these ones were rectangular.Any how,during my brake prefit the only brakes I could get on there were my "B" body's as the holes were off, so I thought.As I started to look closer I noticed that something was missing behind the flanges as per the grinding marks.The previous owner probably had no idea what the brackets were for.Now that really got my attention so I decided to check the codes on the tubes.Much to my surprise I found "QW 0125 G1" stamped on the tube.Along with the letter "E" underneath.When I aquired this diff,it was pretty well bare short of the axles that were laying on the ground.So for the last 10 or so years I've been trying to bring this back to how it was.Short of calipers, the diff is pretty well now complete with 3:55's and a new Eaton posi.I have since sold the Acadian so this diff is really useless to me as I have a '66 "B" Pontiac that I'm building.Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.Oh and buy the way the gentleman I got the diff off of still has the L-78 that went along with it.The whole drivetrain was in a '55 Chevy 'till it got T-boned.Go figure eh.Thanks.
