The ratio can also be pretty well estimated by jacking the car up and spinning the rear wheels over. Count the # of drive shaft revolutions needed to make the tire rotate 1 full turn. That`s for a posi rear end, if you have a 1 wheel wonder, only jack one tire off the ground and then spin that 1 wheel 2 full revolutions and count the # of drive shaft revolutions for the gear ratio. My drive shaft turns 3 and just over a half revolutions for every time the tires roll over once for a 3.55 ratio.
