In Reply to: My Mav has a 9" init...are you guys saying it aint factory? posted by Arnold H. Lester Jr. on September 23, 2000 at 02:00:46:
The 8 and 9 inch rears are very similar in looks. You most likely have the 8, as Mavericks never came from the factory with a 9. Here's a sure way to tell. Measure the distance between any two studs around the housing. Studs on an 8-inch rear should be 3 1/8 inches apart on center. Studs on a 9-inch rear should be 3 1/4 inches apart on center. There are other ways to tell, but the ruler never lies.
: My 72 Grabber(302v8)has what looks to be a 9" rear in it.Now I may be mistaking or not reading something right but didn't they come with 9" rears??It has drum brakes which are good enough for me.(I'm changing the fronts to disc though).
