Hey, I'm currently rebuilding my 7.5 rest axle in my 1984 mercury Capri, switching from 3:08 to 3:73 and converting to 5 lug. It doesn't have the original differential carrier in it but it does have a ford ring and pinion. I can't find any markings on it other than part number that goes to a Chicago rawhide pinion seal and C-S which I believe stands for carbon steel? The carrier itself is two pieces that are held together with bolts from the ring gear side. What really stumps me is that the shims for there carrier bearings are just 1/4 inch thick solid blocks. It was in there TIGHT. Had to spresd the case and beat it out via the pinion. How is the rear end set? It has been wearing perfectly and has good backlash and all that's good. I think its an auburn but I don't understand the shims or pretty much the entire rear end. Thanks
