Can some one please tell me what the stock rear gear in a '73 coupe is.

Thanx

What do you need to know?

See, I am considering upgrading my rear gear and would like to get power to both wheels. But I would like to know what I have now so I can get a starting point. Is there a way to figure out what rear gear I have?

What gears were available in '73, stock?

IM not sure what stock was but mine unfortunalty came with 2.75. Now im going to have to put in somthing along the line of 3.70.

I got it! I had a 6 on the Data code plate so that means I have a 3.00 standard gear.
What kind of difference would I feel if i installed a 3.50 locking differential?
How much impact would there be in my MPG? I do alot of highway driving.
