From H-body.org website: http://h-body.org/ LOTS of basic info in the "Library" Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) section .

Use this guide from the above H-body.org Library/FAQ to find info on your axle. Look at the axle code on your axle (it will tell you where it is):
http://h-body.org/library/hbodyfaq/index.html

See section "3" of FAQ to see more rear end info. http://h-body.org/library/hbodyfaq/index.html Table on contents is on left side of screen.
