How do I determine the differential ratio on a 93 2.3 mustang without pulling the cover?

Is there a tag on the diff cover?
if not here is what I would do, it may take a helper to get accurate, mark the driveshaft, with the valve stem at the 6 or 12 o'clock position, you can rotate the wheel 1 revolution counting the driveshaft rotations, go slow, the shaft spins faster, that will get you the approximate ratio, you can get closer by spinning the wheel 10 times and counting the driveshaft revolutions.
If the tag is on the dif cover it can be decoded, I have a book but google will help too.

you could find out what it came with by reading the vin sticker on the door and checking the axle code. That may or may not be the axle still in it.
