Axle Tag info

Post by cyclonbrian »

I removed the axle tag from my 66 comet and it reads

WDW-C
3.25 6DA 830

How do I interpret this information?

1966- 69 Comet
1966-70 Fairlane
1970-71 Montego

3.25 ratio, non-locking, 8 inch with 28 spline axles

The 6DA is date code and the 830 is plant code.
