I was adding some fluid to the rear diff on the '63, and while I was down there I thought I would knock a little bit of caking off the rear in anticipation of the new rear seal I hope to install soon. But when I started wiping around the rear passenger side of the housing, a very distinct, raised "27" became apparent.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that 27 denotes this being a Dana 27, correct? I don't know where I got the idea, but I assumed I had a 44 on the rear of this thing. Having said that, it's not bad. It's got a 3.07 to 1 ratio, and it's Twin Traction, but still, I was thinking that I'd have something a little more substantial in there. Ah well, win some, lose some.
