Question? did the 300z turbos vary from year to year? I have a pair from one and they are small T25's .48 A/R
What you've got is from the later ('90+) style car that had twin T25 turbos. The '85 - '89 car was entirely different and had a single T3, but the compressor housing I'm talking about was only used on the earlier of those cars, roughly '85 - '87.

Does "10 bolt" = 7.5" GM 26-spline rear-end?
It doesn't have to be limited to Camaros; it's basically any GM 7.5 rear-end with a 3.23 or higher ratio (numerically). The S10 and Blazer are other possible donors.
All that said, bear in mind that it's not a plug-n-play swap.
So How do I identify this in the yard(by the door tags)?
I seem to recall that there is a tag in the glove-box of GM's that provides the details on ratio and open or LSD. I don't recall the details, but it's probably something that can be found on some GM-related site.
Again though, bear in mind, this is not a plug-n-play swap - details are best discussed in another thread. I'm not sure if all the details have been discussed here - try searching for, amoung other things, "Eaton". (i.e. Eaton is the OEM supplier of most GM LSD's)
I tried aking at one GM forum and got a big nothin'. It seems that they are dumb, or don't want to answer Q's. Will try others. I know it is not plug and play, but it would be easier than drilling the ring to match a Ford Trac-Loc. Also the Ford Trac-Loc has to be machined about 3/16" in total on the bearing ends to fit the Merk case.
Looking in the glove box is a lot better than opening the diff case only to find it''s not what I want.

RPO G80
It could be the locking eaton differential, which is OK, or could be a positraction differential (better for us). The posi will usually be in cars while the locking differential will be in trucks. You'll want to verify the spline count. Early vehicles had 26-spline, which is what we want, while later models will have 28-spline.
Hey guys, i'm going "shopping" tomorrow, and i'm curious if anyone has used Sable/Taurus wheels? They were listed in a post and i believe a lot of them are 16s....how does the spacing work with those wheels?
Anybody got any last minute additions to the list before i go?
These lights are a GM unit, found on fullsize trucks and Cutlass Supremes (and maybe others), and feature a 20 foot retractable extension cord. The back of the light fixture has a magnet mounted on it for easy, no hands lighting. Just stick it anywhere you need it. Great for a flat tire, the cord is long enough to reach to the trunk. When you're done, simply crank the handle to retract the cord back in to the housing. Several detail changes over time, but all function the same. At least some have mercury switches.

I wired up a 100w headlight bulb under the hood of my Mustang. I originally wanted to run it with a mercury switch but because of the power it draws i went with a toggle. When you turn it on the whole engine bay lights up.
