Dyke and Club -

Brilliant thought. The car was built on April 22, 1960. The Build Sheet states a 3.31 ratio. You may have answered my question and solved another issue all at the same time.

Thank you,

The correct gear ratio for the 300F is 3.31:1. That 323 might be a date code. Was your car built in March or April?

Attached below are photos of the Rear Axle in my 300F. Can someone translate the numbers to give me the Build Date. I know 1634985 is the correct case number for the 1957-64 high performance cars. The ratio appears to be 3.23 to 1.

thanks for the help
