BE 0331 rear on Ebay

[69L72RS]

There are seven different fill plugs if I remember correcly.
The open rear plugs did not have a flange between the head and threads.
The posi plugs had a flange between the head and the threads to hold the posi tag.
Here goes,
Early from 65 to 68 These had large plug threads and a square boss drive (I think the same size as the Corvettes).
Midddle from 68 to somewhere in 70. These had smaller threads and a square boss head.
Later 70 to ?. These had small threads and a hex socket drive.
Still later ?. These had a square socket drive and no flange. The posi tags should be metal and attached to a cover bolt.

Please, if somebody sees and error, post a correction. Going from memory and trying to stay awake. Not a cooperative combination.

Also, I am fairly sure that the 10-bolt and 12-bolt are interchangeable for the same year.

Did anyone here see this rearend at Carlisle this year? I think it was at the October show.

If there were multiple BE rears at Carlisle i cannot comment, however i do know for sure that the one BE rear that i saw at Carlisle this past Oct was bought by another SYC member - it was stamped 0306 if i recall correctly.

any more opinions on the stamp? i have a good friend that is looking to buy this, but like most of us, is looking for some confirmation of the stamp.. It does seem odd that this date has not shown up before, but then again, we learn something everyday.

I believe this is the rear shows that shows up at all of the local swap meets priced around $3,000. I would stay away personally.

I saw that rear end and know the seller. It was the real deal but the internal parts he had with it were standard 12 bolt parts.
