I didn't know that 8 3/4" rears were used on A-code
cars. My 65 Shelby (K-code of course) has 8 3/4"
rears. 66 K-code cars had 9" rears. Thought that A-code
cars had 8" rears.

I just spoke with Michael this afternoon about his 8 3/4" rear end. I explained to him that a 9" rear in a 65/66 Mustang was actually listed as an 8 3/4" in the books. He now really believes that he has an 8" rear end in his Kar. I let him know the ways to tell the difference.

Fred,
It's not only in the books 65 Shelby/HiPo
had 8 3/4". My ring gear measures exactly
8 3/4" in diameter.
