:if you can find a Feb 2000 Mustang & Fords mag. they have a good article on rearends. A down a dirty trick is take a 1/2" drive deep 9/16" socket and if it fits on the bottom nuts, it's not a 9".
I have a 1970 Maverick. The number doesn't seem to match up with anything on the lists I've seen for Ford differentials. Even the 7.5. So how can I do a visual check on it. The tag looks close to a number for an 8 inch. Might it be a larger differental? My shop teacher looked at it and said," Wow those hot rodders would kill for that 9 inch." Odd?
