I'm honestly scratching my head a little. I found the same thing: 66, 8 3/4", 3.50. I THOUGHT 65-68 were either 8 or 9 inch. It is possible that the source o the two sites we looked at is the same, and incorrect. Please set me straight!

What's the consensus on cherry bombs... The car sounds nice... It's got a good Rumble without being obnoxious.... I wonder how she will do on inspection? Seems strange... I think I'm reading those numbers right... I guess it was changed out when the engine was upgraded... As far as a leak goes... Every joint down under therefore like that as well... Looks like someone was very liberal with spray lube... Lol Anyway nothing seems to be leaking., but I'll keep an eye on it... Joe
I would wipe down everything that appears wet and see if it reappears, just so you know.if it is an issue, I think that can be serviced without removing the axle - just disconnect the driveshaft, and remove the third member. Getting the crush washer just right is apparently tricky, so either lots of YouTube instruction, or take it to a shop. But honestly, if it winds up being a very slow weep, I wouldn't worry too much about it until you have reason to take things apart, just keep an eye on fluid level.

My guess is unoriginal. But I was also unaware that the 8.8 was available that early

the Top Line is WCZ F ...and the Bottom Line is 3 0 5EC 911
...BTW - that makes a lot more sense so I'm assuming it is the stock rear end. So, that leads to my question...is a stock 8.0 rear end OK with a 302?
