correct colors on the case for a 3.23 gear? - 11/23/10 05:16 AM
What would be the correct colors painted on a 1970 489 case with a 3.23 gear? I believe the factory used to id the gear ratios by dabbing 3 paint marks on the bottom of the case?

Dana's had a 3.54 or a 4.10 ..Noted on the metal tag..They didn't have all the war paint an 8-3/4 has (unless Dream Car Garage did the resto). The date codes (and other info - see below) are hard stamped into the axle tube.
