Default Bw 9"

I apparently have one of these in my car, and need to know more about it. I always hear about the 10" but nothing about these..

They are stronger than a 10 bolt but there is very little in the way of after market support for them as they are a pretty rare option.

Replacing wheel bearings and pinion bearings should be the same as a 10 bolt though, right?

good rear end , about as strong as a 8.5 gm set up . gears are plentiful for em , center section is rough to rebuild as the last i tried ya had to replace all or nuttin but that may have changed in the last few yrs . i had one in my 87 formula and it took many low 11 sec passes and 1.5x 60 ft,s

is there any 100% way of confirming this is the rear end, and where would be a good place to look for a diff cover for this?
