Does anybody know what size of bolts you use to connect the differential to the housing on my A-body 8 3/4 rear. What kind of gear oil is everybody using and how much? Thanks

Are the studs missing in that housing?
I was told to use walmart supertech 75-140 and either the mopar or ford friction modifier.

Yep, as mentioned they are studs in the housing with nuts....

If you are missing them, give DrDiff a holler

And yes use the Walmart - SuperTech 75-140 and the Ford Racing Friction modifyer (get at Ford dealer). I am sure you will here all different opinions about this but this is the way to go.
