Hi everyone,
So I've done some searching but can't seem to find an answer to my question which is, what gearing is in my diff. Assuming the internals haven't been changed out and solely based on the stamps on the casing. Hope someone here can shine some light. Thanks fellas.

Dave.

Hi Dave,
The rear differential assembly information, date, plant, and original ratio were stamped on the underside of the case on the rear flange.
The letters indicate the ratio.
Regards,
Alan

Here you can see the stamp info beginning with LR… 1971 car, 3.36:1 positraction

Hi Dave,
Nice!

LR….3.36:1 positraction
W….Warren Motive
174….Julian date, 174th day of the year…June 23rd
E….Positraction Source… Eaton
1….Plant Shift

E281….Casting date for differential case…May 28th

Is your car quite a late car? Near the end of 71 production?
The differential dates would seem to indicate that.
Regards,
Alan
