Sure Grip was optional, as was the 3.31:1 ratio.

Location: Parts Unknown		The ratio will be stamped on the ID boss on the 3rd member. No ratio was "stock". Some were
more standard than others, but any guy working the order sheet could change that ratio by checking
a different box.

Just climb under the car and you will see a flat raised surface sticking down at either 4 or 8 o'clock
(depending on which way you are coming in from). Hit it with a scraper or wire brush and all will be
revealed !

To "complement" the rear axle ratio The Cam Shaft Spec'd for any 1968 to 1971 "standard 350 HP" 440 is twice above what any 1959 - 1965 413 had or
once above what The first series 440 "standard" Cam Shaft Spec's are.

Some places have the number CS-327 for it.
