Limited slip in 68 442
Noticed this today while ripping out what is left in my 68 442 'S trunk.Gave me incentive to carry on...lol. I am surprised tag is still there. No idea the gearing..

Probably too much corrosion to see the stamp. You're going to change gear oil anyway so you'll see the ratio stamped on the ring gear.

Standard rear with an automatic was a 3.08. Optional 3.23, 3.42 and 3.91

3.08
As I posted on a Facebook it is most likely the 3.08
