rear end/gears
#2
It should have a tag under one of the cover bolts with the gear ratio. The rear end itself could be either a 7 1/4 or an 8 1/4 depending on application. An 8 3/4 will fit !! if you want to upgrade it and do away with the rubber mounting

If all else fails, a piece of tape on the tire and a tie wrap on the driveshaft with a buddy can get you close. Push the vehicle so the wheel rotates once and count the revolutions of the driveshaft.

The only weak point, like many, is the crush sleeve. There are some reasonably priced limited slip differentials for these now, with a solid pinion sleeve you could build it into a very reliable axle. Here are some: http://www.ratechmfg.com/chryslerspbs.htm
