I always felt like the 8 inch was a decent street punkin for a nice SBF cruiser. Nice to get the validation :) Thanks for the show, as always!
I've been turning wrenches on some aspect of a ford 9 inch axle for thirty years... surprisingly it was today that I 1st realized they offered 2 sizes in the carrier main bearings... a 2.89 and a 3.06. I had no clue... but today I also realized that I bought the wrong size bearing. DAMN!
Good info guys! Thanks again for the video.
UAW marked where they left off before lunch so they don't miss any operations when they got back from lunch or the next day. they still do it until this day but now is a bit more modern mark such as a done operation button at each station.
the 9" come in multiple variations ..war cases,.wab cases ,n (nodular) are also on the pig and will give you a great place to start..you should measure the outside bearings too as it will give an indication of the axle size..they used different axle sizes and splines from the factory..
Thanks, guys. I acquired a 68 fastback - thought it was numbers matching according to PO, and while the engine is, just found out based on this video, I have a Ford 9 inch. Will do the ratio test based on wheel spin test. Again, thanks.
Thank you for the info about ford 8 and 9 inch and how to tell them apart. I am building a pro street car and needed a center section. $85.00 at the local junk yard only one out of 100's of cars and trucks.
Thanks guys....saved me a lot of work!!!!!!
I also heard of some people calling it the “pumpkin”
Awesome info.!!
You can also use the numbers stamped on the outer edge of the ring gear to determine gear ratio
Could you guys do a video on how to identify the openings of the differential

Great Vid, I am in need of some help. I have a 1963 ford f100 with a one wheel peal diff. When I jack the rear end off the ground I can spin both rear wheels in either direction with the trans in "Park". Drive shaft doesnt move but wheels spin freely. Is this correct or is there something wrong with the rear end. My 85 year old uncle says thats how its supposed to work, but seems odd to me. Appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks
Hey I have a question should the wheels be able to spin if you’re holding the driveline steady?
do these rules apply for a 99 ford contour haha! Im trying to replace my rear brakes and rotors, but keep getting inconsistent search results for the the drums. Is this even an issue, or is it to simply match the shoes correctly?
any advantage or disadvantage using a 1957 9" housing on my 1967 Fairlane build? It came from a T Bird. If the spring and flange dimensions are the same I will pick it up. It has the all round back cover on it.
What’s the best diff Brand do you recommend to replace my 8in 64 ford fairlane
I've got a question. I have had 2 cars, a 1971 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler and a 1970 Ford Torino Gt. Don' t have the Cyclone anymore, just the Torino and just put it on the road. But anyway they are both 351C 4v, 4 speed cars with the 9 inch (3.25 gears). Both cars have this same symptom and it drives me nuts. Whenever I let off the clutch from a complete stop the cars would violently shake and I would hear a repetitive clunking sound coming from the rear of the car. It does this probably 80% of the time. Once I get going (6-8 mph+) it goes away. I am 95% sure it is the rear differential, I just don't know what exactly. When I owned the Cyclone I always thought it was worn clutch packs because it had trac-lok. But the Torino has an open rear end and does the EXACT same thing at the exact same time.
What if the back of the diff doesn't have the hump but the two bottom bolts can't be accessed with a ratchet and socket? Mine is mixed. Ford galaxie. 1965 289 w c4 transmission
