My new project 1968 Dart

It came with a suregrip 8.75 not sure what ratio it has yet. Need to pull third member to see.

No you don't. Just turn the driveshaft one revolution (If posi)and count how many turns driveshaft turns (3 1/2 turns = 355 gear. ) Open rear end just jack 1 tire off the ground and do 2 turns off the tire and count revolutions on DS.
