Differential cover bolts

Does anyone know if all 10bolts are the same thread and length or do we have (1) that is different?

Think they are.

Run a tap in it

all of out bolts are same but thts not to say that cover was meant for the 87GN , some 8.5s (f body) had the brake distribution block under one bolt so you may have one bolt thats too long and would need to use a sleeve spacer on that bolt

That was my original thought but since the original bolts were not going in I figured that may not be the case. Unfortunately I have misplaced 4 of the 10 bolts so I was not sure if (1) of them was different then the others.

A quick tap did the trick, so for whoever didn’t know, yes all bolts holes are 5/16-18 if you ever need to know.

I put my nuts and bolts in baggies and mark them. Baggies are cheap. Never lost one yet.
