Ford 9" ID - help

I need help identifying a 9" I picked up...anyone know an online source? I did a search and yeilded nothing...I swear that thing doesnt work, ha

 

Try 9inchford.com.............OLDBEET

 

Old Beet, it aint working

 

Any part numbers?

 

Don't work for me either. Got some pics and #s?...........OLDBEET

 

Yea the tag reads

WDX L OB19
2 47 9 S560

I know is a 2.47:1 ratio, just was curious what it was out of, I thought it was a bronco, but the with that ratio I dont know. By glance I thought it was the 4.5 bolt pattern, but I could have been mistaken.

 

Do a google search for- Kevinstang's Ford Nine Inch Differential page. It is pretty informative.

 

if it has 5-1/2" bolt pattern axles it's a half ton, 5" it's a big car, 4-1/2" it's a midsize car

quick google for "wdx-l" does not turn up anything

 

I cant find these numbers anywhere.... Its a 28 spline, 2.47:1 gear, 58" drum to drum outside....

That might help

 

Its from a 1980 Ford Granada or Mercury Monarch.

 

Where did you find that? I guess I didnt know those had 9 inch's, thought they were all 8"

 

Check here ...

But check your number again and make sure ...
No WDX listed but the listing stops at 1972 ...

 

V8 cars had the 9", or so I've always heard.

 

Hollander interchange manual.
Alot of the Granadas and Monarchs with a 351 W had a 9 inch, sonetimes a disc one.

 

Ahh, alright... well 72 was casted in the center section housing, and I swear it was a WDX, but I shall check...

We are getting closer, THANKS GUYS

 

that's what the date code

OB19

says, Feb 19 1980 (or 1970?)

 

That sounds exactly right 58" is dead on for a granada. A ford part number would tell the tale perfectly.

 

So, I'm trying to identify the year as well as other info from this 9" that I purchased. Went to fordifacation but couldn't find these numbers.
The gear ratio is 3.00 but other than that I'm in the dark. Any help, I would be appreciative. Thanks

 

Squirrel nailed the date, these will clarify. From the 47th edition Hollander which covers 75 thru 85.


Will that be all today?

 

C2SA is 1962 Thunderbird...

(ford part number breakdown: C is 1960s, 2 is specific year, S is the Thunderbird line)

looks like @theHIGHLANDER didn't catch that the thread is 18 years old! and we have a new question to answer

 

You're right, zombie victim here

 

Thanks for that help, much appreciated.
