I have what seems to be a 9-3/8 diff that I've disassembled and cleaned up. It is from a '68 Galaxie, CT State Police car. Had 31 spline axles if my counting was correct.
I didn't know that it was a 9-3/8 unit until I started researching some of the numbers for bearings and such, then I measured the ring gear....
I did a bit of internet research and that sort of just confused me more.
If what I was reading is correct, there is a WAB case that is normally the 9-3/8 and it isn't supposed to be compatible with much of the 9" stuff.
Here are the pics: I have a C8AW-4025-A case and a C8AW pinion support. I laid a paper housing gasket over the case flange and it seems to line up fine. It also has the curved external rib at 1o'clock
Can this case be built as a 9"? or is it kind of a one-off that isn't usable?
Thanks for any opinions/facts/knowledge.
Bill
