What Gear Ratio is in my 71 Catalina Convertible?

[@Teds455]

Just realized.... 41-15. Says it all. 41 ring gear teeth, 15 pinion gear teeth. I need some sleep.

Hey kids, if you want to know your ratio without pulling the cover...turn the drive shaft one revolution and see how many times the wheel goes around. Example; if its a 4-11, the wheels will go around just over 4 times. We did this in the junk yards all the time.
