Most in fact are ten bolts but they are worse than the crappy 9 bolts. The ten bolt is a 7.5" ring gear with c-clip axle retention and the 9 bolt is a 7.75" ring gear but also has bolt in axle retention so it is better but not great.

okay thats kinda helpful, the reason i was asking is b/c...
my 85 TA originally had a 9-bolt disc brake rear end and the ring and pinion was so worn out the teeth were sharp and it hummed and whined so i switched to a 10 bolt drum brake rear end,
i still have the disc rear end master cylinder in the car and im buying a parts car that has disc rear and i was going to be changing my gear ratio to a 4.10 from a 3.42 and i figured i could do the new gears in the disc rear, THEN swap THAT into my car, keeping the disc rear master cylinder, so as long as its the 10-bolt i should be fine right? because i know they dont make new ringa nd pinions for the 9-bolt...
