Hi, Ned -
There should be numbers stamped on the differential, driver's side
(left-hand drive). If the numbers are 43 and 11, then you have a 3.909 diff
(43 crown wheel teeth and 11 pinion teeth: 43/11 = 3.909). This ratio was
for overdrive-equipped cars. If the numbers are 39 and 11, then you have a
3.54 diff (for non-overdrive equipped cars).

How can I tell what the gear ratio of my differential is?
Thanks,
