Tonight's question....I found the rear axle tag on my 67 and after considerable rust removal I found the axle code...WCZ-E1. I could not find this code in any documentation I have. Would anyone know of another source for these codes? Thanks

It's an 8 inch rear end.

64-70 Mustang, 67-70 Cougar, 64-65 Falcon, all WCZ 8 inch rear ends.

axle ratio?

Would the tag indicate the axle ratio? There is a bunch of numbers on the 2nd line. I know the data plate indicates the ratio but I'm just checking!!

Just a thought

Just a thought. It was my impression that the 69 to 73 Cougars only came with the 9" rears from the factory. I have never seen the 8" on these.

I have no idea, it's not my page. I've heard of 8 in. in them, but cant believe everything you hear. I'd have to check into that with the local Ford guru here. I'll keep you posted.
