I have what I believe to be a rear housing from a 68 or 69 Roadrunner, but I'd like to confirm that. The spring perches have been cut off, so I can't take a measurement there. If there is a part number for just the housing, where would I look? Thanks.

What he said, measure your flange to flange distance & go to the archives & if they're all different & you find your dimention you got it. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

It is indeed a 8 3/4" unit. Flange to Flange looks to be approximately 55 1/8", which according to the info I found in the archives would probably be 62-70 B-body. Thank you for the help.
