Could be one of these 3!!!!
1 white stripe - 1.375" pinion and 7260 yoke
2 white stripes 1.875" pinion and 7260 yoke
3 white stripes 1.875" pinion and 7290 yoke
If sure grip, there was an added orange stripe like on the photo of my axle, plus orange paint around the filler plug like my photo
The paint stripes on the springs were there to identify the springs to go on the car. Some cars had different springs left and right and will have different colors. The only way to know for sure on A bodies is to see if any color remnants remain. I haven't been able to find a list of those colors for A bodies so far.

Rear end, exhaust and drive shaft installed and back on all 4 wheels.
Another problem with emergency brake cables. One is too long (or one too short). New reproduction parts from Right Stuff but not always right. More gnashing of teeth!!

No Car Like A MoPar!
One brake cable, try sending them above picture and tell them you want correct length. I'd think if they're reputable they'd at minimum reply and attempt to resolve.
Looking pretty darn good

Just had exhaust installed on my 69 Formula S 340….I asked the installer about the closeness of the driveshaft to the right side intermediate pipe…he smiled and reminded me of the offset driveshaft….btw…trim black always give a great finish
Spring is here Jim, you can take off that Blizzak now.
I’ll get right on it
New shoes are on. Diamond Back BF Goodrich radial TA Redlines ,215/70-R14. Original "Deep Dish" "W15" wheel covers - a $44.90 USD option.
My car originally came with those. Those buggers are heavy.
For sure!! Big heavy steel support and big centre casting.
Ready to install my original rad. Was restored by Glen Ray, who do excellent work. Supposed to be fairly rare 3 core rad.
