Need help with a part I got..

The tag number on it. What car is it for?

 

Rear end..

[Craig Gillingham]

I'd say that is just saying that it's a 4:1 diff ratio (41/10). Which probably won't narrow it down much. Sometimes the makers name was stamped on the rear cover, in the middle, if there's something there?

I think I bought a 51 H/J 6 cylinder without overdrive rear end..  Now I have to make sure I have the right part...  Not much car stuff going on with all the rain...

 

Today.:

 

We took a tour of the local college that had a Automotive Technology program. I asked a student about a H/J..    What is that???  He never heard of it...

 

I like to send my son here:
