I am in the process of installing a lincoln versailles rearend in my 1965 fastback. Since the gears in these leave something to be desired, I was wanting to use the third member out of the 1958 Ford station wagon rearend that I have. It has 3.70 gears in it but I'm not sure how to tell if it is open or traction lock. I have the third member out and am able to see everything good, but I'm not sure what to look for. I lost the original data plate that was on it when I painted the rearend. If I get my digicam working, I'll post pics, but if someone has pics they could post to show me what to look for, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, my lincoln rearend is a big tube 9 inch. I've read that all versailles have 28 spline, but being the big tube, will it be 31 spline or 28?
