What gears are in my 1968 Barracuda?

[Shane65]

I have a 1968 Barracuda all stock, with a 318 automatic and 7.25 rear end...

I picked it up a couple years ago, and finally getting around to doing some work on it...

Anyone know what gear would've came stock?

Count the turns. could have been 3 or 4 choices.

Check around the bolts on the diff cover for a tag that has the ratio on it. I assume 7 1/4s came with them - I know 8 1/4s did. Might be hard to see if there's a lot of grime on there, so double check. I never noticed I had one till it fell off when I washed off the cover!

Found some numbers to the right of the cover, actually on the rear end itself, but they're barely legible, and more than 3 digits...

2.76

That was my guess when looking at what was available... Was 2.76 the most common on auto 318's in 1968?

2.76 or 2.94, but probably 2.76

Either Cogswell Cogs or Spacely Sprockets....
