The pinion split on the rear of my 63 and I had plan on having it rebuilt, keeping the case and cover to keep things original. However, when I looked at the casting number it did not correspond to the 63-64 Technical Info Manual info.
The number I have is 8880303. Any clue on what that is out of?
The Assembly date does not appear to be formatted correctly or I'm reading it incorrectly. It is CE4 16 6. I know the CE matches up with the 4:11 but don't know about the numbers.
I couldn't find the casing date which is supposed to be on the driver's side output flange which is difficult to get to anyway.
Based on the VIN, My car is a early June 63 build
So it looks like the entire rear was replaced at some point and I will have to find a correct casing and cover.
