Real deal or move along?

The gears in that rear are 2.71 according to the owner.

Guessing you contacted him? Admittedly that was one thing I either didn't ask or he didn't tell me during my initial inquiries.

If it's 2.71 gears, that's less desirable, to me anyway. That would mean it has the smaller carrier if I recall my recent reading. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

According to my '64 shop manual my car should have 3.23 gears in the 7-1/4, was really hoping that 8-1/4 would be the "common" 3.21 gears or at least 2.94 so it has the larger carrier.

Hmm...
