Differential Code 8L 63 Starfire

Anyone have the differential codes handy? I'm looking for my service manual, but I can't remember which pile of crap I put it under.

I know it's a posi (L), and both wheels spin the same direction. I know it should be the standard 3.42 but I want to be sure w/o spinning the tires, and counting driveshaft revolutions!

The Regal Red 63 Starfire I just bought has to be the highest optioned car I have ever seen.. and almost everything works too (AC, and clock need to be looked at). One elderly lady (93) owned the car, and I can't believe the condition it's in!

Does anyone have a list of factory options/dealer accessories that would have been available back in 63? I would like to see what's missing.

Thanks, Paul.

8L is a 3.42 anti-spin.
All the ratio are listed on page 1-4 of the 1963 Service Manual as available on Wildaboutcarsonline.com.

Thank you! I copied a pic of just that... Anyone have the a copy of the option list? Trim tag reads X-N-T-2K.
