My sourse doesn't list an axle code 7.....but that doesn't mean there wasn't one. Anyone else?

Thanks for the info, didn't think this 73 was geared like my 72 that had a 3.55.

What if you purchased a circle track pinto racer and want to find out the what type of rear end you have, how can find out?  

Do you have to pull the rear end out?

Suggestions?

Turn the drive shaft (pinion shaft) one complete turn and count the number of complete rotation's of the wheel. 3 and 1/2 would be close to the 3.55 ratio.
