The 8 1/4 thread

it seems as if you have a similar issue. the carrier ratio breaks are 2.45 and down (numerically) and 2.56 and up.

so if your 2.71s wont work with that posi carrier with your ring/pinon then it must be the 2.45 down unit and will never work for you if you want 2.56 and up ratio.

What gear set will work and fit in my 73 8 1/4 housing sir ??

No he wanted to use the high ratio gear for his car it is a brand new trac loc. His new 8 1/4 carrier is prob wrong for it. I thought he had the right carrier he did in 7 1/4

Never opened the 7 1/4 up, just the 8 1/4 like we talked about, the open carrier I took the gears off of and put them on the sure grip I got from you, we thought the sure grip was for the tall gears is what I was thinking... never talked about a 7 1/4 .. swaped to the 8 1/4.
