                        3L00  80A 299


i know it's a 3.00 posi BUT is it a 9" or 9 3/8"?
IF it's a 9 3/8, is it ok to modify the  9"housing to fit?

It is a 9 3/8" housing. It is out of a 1967 Thunderbird and it has 31 spline axles.

Are you trying to put this carrier into another housing? If so that should be OK once you cut the notches for the ring gear to pass through.

it sure does fit with minor mods although the flange (not a yoke) tells me the dates may be off...

thanks!
