Default 69GP Rear End

Is it on the backing plate ? I read somewhere that it is on the Drum . I checked that and the #'s don't make any sense . Like something is missing ! They have probably been changed out at some point . Thanks for the info !

1. get the PHS on the car and see what it came with

V = posi-trac, U = open.
The second letter tells you the gear. Look in the service manual. Example UF = 3.08 open
Also the inside of the brake housing on the drivers side rear will have the code as well.
3. Get the car up and turn the wheels to count the revolutions on the shaft.

Yes, certain rear ends were std with certain engine packages. 428's usually got a higher gear. A 428 HO car with A/C would have likely had a 3.42 or 3.23 rear. I don't think a posi was std on anything. You had to order that.
