1963 rear axle and code

[Raymond R.]

For a 1963 SW coupe, 327 ci, 250 hp, 4 speed with positraction; what rear axle ratio and code would you expect? Would it be CB 3:36.1 or something else? Where would you find the code on the axle? Thanks.

A 3:36 is probably the most reasonable but it could have been anything that you could order with the 250 HP engine. There is no code on the axle. It is stamped into the bottom of the pumpkin. There was also a tag on the rear installed to help identify the gears at factory build time. You may or may not have that. Check past threads for diagrams of the tags.
