Notes
The 1973 factory parts catalog assigns Barracuda housing package 2852882 to the 8 3/4-inch axle and lists its housing length as 56 27/64 inches. The catalog identifies this axle by a banjo-style housing with welded cover, ten carrier-retaining nuts, carrier casting 2881488 or 2881489 embossed two inches below the yoke, 29-tooth axle splines, and a bolted metal tag carrying the ratio. Its service tables include Barracuda applications for 2.76, 3.23, and 3.55 gear sets, but those service applications do not by themselves prove the original ratio in an individual car.
