Trying to figure this out...

[darkness falls]

Well, I was looking at my 4 lug rear axle that I took off my car and was wonder what kind it was, the car was originally a 6 cylinder, but that could have been changed by the previous owner, I don't know. The car did not come with a engine or tranny. On the front of the center housing, there are no nuts to distinguish if it is a 8" or a 9". Some one here said it could be an 7.5" I never heard of them having that, but I donno. Also the previous owner had switches mounted in the dash for nitros or a supercharger. I doubt he would keep the weak axle housing. I am curious.

I can post pictures either tomorrow or sunday.

If the car was originally an I6, and still has 4-lug wheels, then your rear IS a 7.5" rear.

Since it's 4 lug, it is an integral carrier which is the 7.5" axle. Check the tag on the cover bolt.

It does not look like the Ford 7.5" rear, that is all I am saying, or the 8 or 9. 40 years ago the car was a 200 cid 6 cylinder car, but I don't know what engine was in it before I got it or the tranny. There is a possiblity the previous guy changed it. And he put on those really long leaf springs that needed to be bracketed father back.

I am just trying to figure out what the previous guy was doing.
