at the carquest i go to, they actually have OLD books they look in. no it was not under jeep. i was looking at the book with her. dona is very good at gettin me the hard to find parts. it says spicer 53, and 27A. thats all. for gaskets, and bearings. they had the gasket in stock that looks like it is the right one. i have yet to put the diff cover gasket on to find out for sure. 10 bolts on the cover and kinda oval looking if this helps in id any. oval as in left right oblong instead of up and down oblong. even www.partsamerica.com says the spicer axles. parts america is who advance auto and autozone, schucks, kragar and checker auto parts all go thru. says the 53 has a 9.25" ring gear, and the 27A has a 7.2" ring gear. would i be safe maybe to guess it is the 27A? i have yet to find anything in parts that says "amc model 15". grr, this is getting confusing. am i safe to guess that the 27A with the smaller gear, might be the littler axle used in the 6 cyl? its a 6cyl manual. no od. also, frank said that the 35 grew from the amc 15. would it be possible that 35 gears might be able to be adapted into the 15, if thats even what i have? im coming out with the gears being 9/34 turning into 3.77 g.r. wouldnt mind getting like a 3.50 or so. just a little more highway friendly. maybe not even worry about it now if im going to be swapping it out any time soon. dave stohler --------------------------------- Sponsored Link $420,000 Mortgage for $1,399/month - Think You Pay Too Much For Your Mortgage?
