Decode my rear axle please?
« on: September 09, 2008, 06:14:28 PM »
PC 1129 G                      K216 casting date,   it is a 12 bolt axle, at first I thought it was a K218, but I was told on the site the 8 must be a 6.    The axle is in my 69 Z28 thanks.

PC 1129 G  =  3.31:1 axle ratio, non-posi, 12-bolt rear axle assembled on November 29th, 1966 by the Detroit Gear & Axle Plant.

K216  =  November 21st, 1966  =  axle casting date  (8 days before the rear axle was assembled).
