How can you identify the gear ratio of an AMC 20 by the casting marks? The axle The AMC 20 I'm looking at has the following markings on the top N, then below that the number 891 and below that 117. If it can't be identified from those markings where are the markings used to identify it? Thanks, John

Can you just spin the tires and count the revolutions of the input spline? That would give you a gear ratio.

There is a letter code stamped on the right rear of the diff housing that will tell you the original gear ratio and if it was equiped with a factory limited slip diff. Go to http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/axle/amc20.html That will tell you how to decipher the code (a single or double letter).
