Diferential Measurement Question
The catalogs I have seen while looking for a rebuilt diff. says to measure the flange to deturmine which one they ship.
What flange do they mean? the round one betweem the u-joint and rearend casting?

The front yoke width is different on the years, there are 2 sizes.The early 4 spd cars and the later automatics and ST-10's were different. Just measure the U-joint on the drive shaft if you're not sure.

well thats what I thought and they said it would either be 3 3/4 or
4 1/4 inches. I think my u-joint measures 4 inches. measurement taken at widest point.
I have a '78
