    Just my .02, but if the '70 Malibu has been switched over to an 8.5 A-body rear, you would be best off going with new US Gear-Strange, US Gear-Torqueline, or Precision gearset. All are quality, & set up propperly should be quiet.

    If the 10 bolt in the Malibu is original, it will be an 8.2 Chevy c-clip rear. Gearsets for that particular rear jump from 3.73 to 4.11. A few cruiser type Chevy builders will spend the money on the 8.2 chevys, but used low ratio gears seldom show up in anything other than 4.56 ratio.
