Title: Axle Ratio - '79 Hatch, code Y??
Post by: Chopper John on June 27, 2011, 04:37:44 PM
Was wondering if anyone could tell me what axle code "Y" is on a '79 hatchback in my local junkyard.
Thanks.

Axle code Y means a 3.08 rear axle ratio.

Thanks for the quick reply - I'll likely head out tomorrow to pick it up at the U-Pick-It yard.
I'm tired of the 3.55 rear in my 4-speed '72 wagon at 70 MPH.

If it's a 3.55 for an 8 inch, I'll take it off of your hands.
