Thank you guys for the info. First I need the axle, then go for brakes.

As soon as I have more information about the moser 9" I will let you know and see what you think.

Yup basically two maybe three real options. Most likely they will have large bearing ford ends. But like I said make sure if you already have brakes to tell them what you have exactly. If you don't have brakes yet then order the rear end as is and buy brakes to fit as mentioned.

Yes I will do that. Brakes I did not ordered yet because I was still not decided about the tube flange type. I like your opinion about ordering the 9 inch with the Torino big bearing ends and using a flange with the same pattern as a 10 bolt.

But will this be possible, or shall I go for the Ford flange? Or it doesn't really matter what flange I choose?

It doesn't matter. Get the most popular flange, and make sure it's for large bearings. There's absolutely no reason to get a GM flange bolt pattern if you haven't ordered brakes. I would probably get a 5x4.75" axle bolt pattern when ordering axle shafts though, as that will open up your wheel choices and make it easy to match the front.

Glacia I was just wondering how you became interested in American muscle cars. Are there many of them running around Malaysia and are there many car shows held? How did you come to own your camaros? You said you own an iroc also didnt you?

Hi Mate, thanks for the interest. I am not from Malaysia . I am from Malta, this is a small island in the Mediterranean sea. Great for a summer holiday. It is a nice island full of car enthusiastic people. Here in Malta, people are crazy about cars. Who has classic and vintage cars, others have drifting cars, others have all types of modified cars, Japanese cars, dragsters and us the american auto club. You can google
and see what american cars we have in malta.

Yes I have a 1985 camaro. It is not IROC but. Normal 5 litre chevy carb. Will post some pictures of the 85 later on. I bought it from Malta with 60,000 original miles. Has everything original. Few years ago, it got freshly painted red as the original colour and has matched numbers.

It is the 78 camaro which I am not going to keep it original............

Very cool. Looks like Chevrolet is very well represented in your club. I also have to admit there were some pretty nice Mustangs in the video as well. Sorry for my mistaking you were from Malaysia.

I gotta say it. You guys seem to have bought every cheesy hood available for 3rd gen camaros. It looks like you have a bunch of guys with mechanical *****', (Corvettes)
