I have an '82 Imperial and I'm trying to determine if it has a 7 1/4 rearend or an 8 1/4 rearend. Does anybody know what these cars came with? If not, how do you tell the difference between the two? Thanks in advance, have a great 4th of July

if it's the size of a stegasaurus brain (walnut) it's a seven and a quarter.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

And the 7 1/4 has the bottom two bolts in a horizontal line, the 8 1/4 does not (the six-oclock bolt is SLIGHTLY lower than the 5 & 7. This saves you having to bend down far enought to count all the bolts.

Ok, cool, I took another trip outback, and the cover is rounded, not octogonal, so that's an 8 1/4, correct?
