I'm very interested in swapping out my rear end, but I virtually have no knowledge of how they work or the numbers people are using when referring to the rears. I've been reading and I understand the 8 3/4 rears are supposed to be quite good for all applications. I currently have a 72 Duster with a slant six.
What does the 8 3/4 represent in terms of measurement? When people talk about gear numbers what is it they are referring to. I know that some gears are better for different applications, but in which situation is which better? Like I said, I have absolutely no idea about the rear end at all, and would really appreciate it if someone could run me through a crash course(Not literally).
Thanks,
