Default 81 vette bolt pattern

Just need to know how many bolts are on the diff cover for a 81 vette? is it 8, 10, or 12? I know its probably kinda dumb to ask but Thanks!

I am a work and saw your post. If no one replys, i will look at mine when I get home and let you know. I looked at the Eckler's web site and the differtial cover gasket shows 12 holes, but 4 are outside the normal hole pattern which shows 2 bolts per side.
