Strange Axle tag # on door tag ?
« on: May 16, 2018, 03:36:48 PM »
Hey Guys,
 I was wondering why my 65 Coupe, 6 cylinder auto has a "2" stamped for the axle code ?
 It doesn't come up in the online decoders any ideas ?
TIA,
DanG

Dan you need to get a new  decoder ring :)  Mine shows the same - 2.83 ratio

Funny things about decoder books and online services. They often use other decoders to build the sites or assemble the book - repeating mistakes and oversights as they go. 67 with "O" rearend codes was one of the more typical ones that got overlooked by allot of them years back

Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you !
So not so much of a mystery, as just poor web-sight "decoders".
