I know this has been answered before, but I couldn't find it in my search. How do I tell which rear end I have in my 1961 Amazon. I don't believe it is original as there is no corrosion on it or the drive shaft. The engine and the front clip were replaced (B20 and discs) so I think this may have been done at the same time. The drain plug is on the bottom just aft of the pinion seal (in front of the axles) and the axle housings appear to be rolled and welded, not pipe. Looking from the back the weld beads form a "Y" on its side with the top (2 points) facing the differential and the bottom (1 point) facing the wheels. Also which oil use 80w90 Gear Oil or 90 Hypoid?? Thanks in advance.
Bill
