Doug, you have O/D, however that does not necessarily mean you have a 4.11
rear end. The differential was not different simply because you had O/D -
that would actually be self defeating. The differences in diffs were
related to the engine and whether or not the car was for home or foreign
(US) markets.
If your car is a Federal 1500 model then it should have a 3.89 diff, unless
it was changed.

It has a 32/36 Weber on canon intake (some dents in the bonnet from K&N
housing bolts), 4-1 header (origin unknown, looking to upgrade), adjustable
Spax front shocks and Koni in the rear, fresh Vic Brit front springs and new
rear leaf (still sags). Spitbits bushings all around, Yokohama 175/60/13
A0032R mounted on TR7 rims, 5" wide in the front, 5.5" in the back. The
front studs have been upgraded to the Chevy ones. Came with O/D which means
a 4:11 rear end.
