My Rearend
I have an 83' Camaro that was originally a V-6 and i am confused on what my rearend is. I know its a 10 bolt but is it 7.5, 7.625 and does it have 26 or 28 splines. That is as far as i have made it on determining what it is without taking it apart. The reason i ask is because i have an open rearend, hence the v-6 model. Any knowledge or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

WTF?
Then why when looking for parts for my rearend is there the 7.5 and 7.625? I guess the the 7.625 w/26 spline, 7.625 w/28 spline is the only diffrence then. So that puts mine in the 7.5 or 7.625 w/26 splines then huh?
I think i am almost there at the answer i am looking for.

He told you right; they're exactly the same thing.
In fact, if you go ANYWHERE and look up gears, there is no distinction. The same gears fit them all.
7.75", however, is something else; that's a 9-bolt.
And yes, you would have the 26-spline version, unless it's been changed... which isn't terribly likely. There's ALOT more 26s in the world than 28s, so just by the luck of the draw, a replacement is more likely to be a 26.
As far as pointers, how about this one —>
