To all who responded with suggestions for taking off differential grease
smell from hands - I hope you all knew I was kidding (I only have to move
out to the couch!), but I do appreciate the numerous suggestions. John
suggested rubber gloves - my experience with them is that the instant they
see solvent of any type, they decompose into a sticky mess. Brain surgery
they are great for, I assume, but working on cars seems to be beyond the
capability of any I've tried.

Hello list,
Dick is absolutely correct ( as he usually is) and his math impeccable. His
calculations agree with the FSM which shows the rear axle ratio on these
cars to be 2.24:1(rounded off from Dick's 2.2380952............). Good
work once again Dick B. Hope that you were able to get the grease smell off
your hands and didn't have to sleep on the porch. Ah, the sacrifices we
make for the IML!
