Help identifying differential 65 Barracuda V8

Mighty kind words that I’m gonna put on a post it and slap on the dash… “spirited driving” I love it! This has been a really good thread and I’m overly thankful for everyone’s perspective and two cents… once again the FABO has proven that there is nothing that CANT be done.

And yes you’re right, safety is my utmost priority with the build, plan so far is to replace all of the brake lines, distribution blocks, rubber hoses and go with a healthy dual master, I do agree with you on the brakes… they don’t look or feel awful… I cleaned them off and see no cracking or separating … how is that even possible after sitting for so long? Maybe that was the best thing for it in this case?

But I thought the same… wheel cylinders at the least. Fuel line is next and of course front end rubber. I need to take a step back and practice a little “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

Thanks for yours and everyone’s help and encouragement here! Let’s all send out warm positive chi that the 7-1/4 diff is AT LEAST a 300k miler! Or… a few laps at with the family at Mopars in the Park *wink* or getting my dad to and from work for a while!

*NOTE** when I removed the diff cover… only about a half quart of oil came out… anything to worry about? Sitting for so long could it just have “evaporated” deteriorated? … or possibly ran low before being parked? I didn’t see any wet spots on the drums where it might have leaked through the axle bearings/seals? And the diff cover was dry… just another observation.

Still curious to anyone’s suggestion for a decent gear oil and if I’ll need any kind of additive?

Happy wrenching!
