Can anyone answer this or tell me where to find the info
I have the batwing off and with a straightedge on the center flange the distance from the mounting points (where the bushings go) is about a 1/2 inch different

A half inch different than WHAT? Another 44? A 36? It is MY understanding that the center to center on the batwing bushings is the same on all C4s.

RACE ON!!!

I probably, still don't understand you correctly. With the bat wing out of the car, the diff is free to move around. It is the batwing, mounted in the bushings that locate the diff in the car. I cannot imagine the stiff aluminum casting of the diff becoming bent enough to allow it to be missaligned. The casting would break, long before that. Am I reading you correctly, now?

RACE ON!!!
