I pulled 3:42 out of a fourth gen Firebird at a pick&pull and bought all new bearings and 28 spline Moser axels from Summit. My RH axel was bent for some reason when I bought the car. I'm not sure you couldn't buy a 26 spline posi new and keep your axels for the same money.

I would look for a used posi and gears from a salvage yard or ebaymotors. If you go with a new posi , Auburn is a great stock replacement, Eaton has a great posi and its rebuildable, But cost more then the Auburn.

a new eaton style unit from strange is only like $330 i dont think they have much for 26 spline axles. A lot of stuff is at least for 28 or 30 spline
