Rear End Gear ID

[scooter3]

The tag I found was on the side. I cleaned it with a brush because that was the obvious thing to do. I still cant read it. Nevertheless, I picked up a 3.23 open today. Even if its a 2.94 going to a 3.23 isnt going to be that big of a difference.

The tags are usually on the center section under a but on one of the bolts. Its dirty and greasy... Clean it up a bit and put a light on it to see it.

What if it's already a 3.23 and you would be spending time swapping in the same ratio..........
There should be a fender tag and it will give the axle code it had originally........

The fender tag will show the rear gear ratio?

My 1970 300 has 2.76 sure grip.

My rear gear is making a pretty severe noise. I wanted a back up incase the one in the car is past rebuilding.

Im not swapping it out for performance or shits and giggles as apparently you have assumed so yes I would be spending my time swapping out for the same ratio.

The fender tag will show the rear gear ratio?

Up to 68 it does.

Yes. Number Axle (1) 2.76, number Axle (2) 2.94, number Axle (4) 3.23.

You are very snarky after I and several others tried to help.......​:eusa_clap:
Wait till next time.:jerk:

I am wanting to figure out which gear is in my car.
Which of these are the ID for the rear gear

 

[scooter3]

If your next time is "Factory Owners Manual" then I think I'll be ok.

I do appreciate everyone elses help though.

From an original '66 Plymouth service manual.....:reading:

'66 Fury axle ratio with manual trans.
6 cyl. - 3.55
8 cyl. - 3.23

'66 Fury axle ratio with Torqueflite
6 cyl. - 3.23
8 cyl. - 2.93

Personally the 2.93 is something I never put my paws on even though I evidently have one in my '66 Fury III that had a 383 2bbl. In the C-bodies I haven't seen anything but 2.76 or 3.23s from '67 -'70, but in the B-bodies I have seen several 2.94s in the 8.75"... The only odd ratio that raised an eyebrow was a 741/8.75" from a '64ish Dodge 1/2 ton that had a 3.58 ratio.

You resurfaced, welcome back! I was wondering when we'd hear from you again.

The power supply unit in my computer burned up and I just got a new old one to get me by until I get a new tower.

Once the weather turns I will be dropping in more often again.

Ok so that's exactly one thing to look forward to when the weather turns...
