55 T-Bird axle ratio

You might already know, but the ratios for 55 Birds are as follows:

3 speed 3.73 (410 optional?)
3 speed O/D 3.92
Automatic 3.31

If you have an open (non-posi) rear, then mark the
yoke and ONE tire (keep the other tire from
rotating) and turn the ONE tire two full turns while
counting the revolutions the yoke rotates-this is
your ratio

Simply put, positraction, you turn both tires one full turn, non positraction, turn one tire two full turns.
