Hmm, I wonder if 1384 might be the number.  I don't know that I have one
with that number in my box of spares.  If I can find the box I guess the
smart thing would be to compare numbers and see if I have an odd ball one :)

Living in LA like you do I can see where a 4:10 would not be of much use.
 Here in Kentucky there isn't a straight road to be found.  Heck even my
driveway has twists and turns!

I've got a 3:70 diff that I can use if I want to but I do have an OD to
install this winter so until the 4:10 proves it's not suitable for my
driving style I'll probably stick with it.

That's for sure.
