i have a dana 60 axle, 70 cuda. trying to make heads or tails out of the fsm, on placement of the axle gasket. between the backing plate and the flange, or between the backing plate and the adjuster collar? thanks for the help.

metal shim gasket goes between the axle tube and brake backing plate.
white foam gasket goes between the brake backing plate and axle retainer plate

Bill,
Did the metal shim replace the original rubber asbestos gasket?

Rubber/asbestos gasket is aftermarket. Mopar rearends originally used beaded steel gaskets against the housing end.

The 2070933 is listed in the 68 TSB and the brake section of the 70-71 parts books as 7/64" foam gasket. Actually it is listed as foam in the TSB and 7/64" in the parts book.
The 2881314 gasket is listed in the 68 TSB and in the parts packages section of the 70-71 parts book, but not in the axle section. It appears that the listing in the axle section of p/n 2070933 is in error. It should be 2881314.

I am going to go lay down now, I am feeling very confused.

Just to add to the confusion.
From the 1969 Parts Book.

Does the bead on the metal gasket go towards the axle flange or the retainer?
Does it need to be sealed?

Different gaskets were available over the counter.

As far as I know, factory installed rubber/asbestos gaskets between the housing end and brake backing plates would be an oddity.

The bead goes against the housing end. Sealant was not used.
