I had a '65] Dart GT, 273, 4 spd with a 7.25 rear. Not an apples to apples comparison, just wondering if something changed between '65 and '66? [/quote

In mid production year of 65 Chrysler was experiencing broken 7 1/4s coming in under warranty. They directed dealers to start replacing the broken 71/4s with 8.75rears. Ini turn NHRA made a rule change allowing stock/Superstock teams to run the 8.75. ddartdude has a copy of the directive posted on his web site.
