Re: Rear-end gear ratios

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 I believe this method only works with a sure grip rear end- because of the 
spider gears  in a non-posi.  You can use this method if both tires are on 
the ground and you roll it straight ahead( or 
back)......................MO.............sw  iowa

I can tell you a EWAG (Educated Wild A$$ Guess) or probably just a WAG way
of telling.  Lift the rear off the ground & rotate a tire one complete turn
and count the rotations of the drive shaft and keep track at the end.  Three
& 1/4 turns is 3.23.  Three & 1/2 turns is 3.55.  Four & 1/2 is 4.56 and so
on and so on!  I hope this helps.  Unless it has been worked on or rusted
off, it should have a tag on it somewhere with the ratio on it.

I am curious what the gear ratio is for the rear-end of my '64 Dodge Polara
500.  I can't find anything about that on the window sticker, build-sheet,
tag, etc.  It seems like it is around 3:00, and I am sure they didn't have
many choices in the mundane 383 2 bbl. TorqueFlight setup.  Anyone know?
