S215A = axle plant model code (S = Sterling axle plant) (2)L73 = 2.73:1 gearset w/ Traction-Lok limited slip differential 88 = 8.8" ring gear
I cant find anything on the other number, you can also look on your door for the axle code.

right under our nose... whats wrong with us?
So I've seen the axle tag decoder link...And I knew how to do that anyway from my F150 days, someone taught me that back then, but...
My new project doesn't have the differential tag, so I have to rely on the door jamb codes/tag. Can anyone supply a link to decoding that way? I found a spreadsheet elsewhere online, but I wasn't sure how accurate it was. Also, wouldn't you know of all fields, the axle one is the one that's a little worn. I can't tell if it's an 8 or a B. 99% sure it's a 'B' because that other spreadsheet (which told me that was a 3.08 open rear) didn't have an 8. Any help here?
It could be 8 or B. Both are valid. It depends on the year and engine and transmission. Here are some links for you:

Thank you Fox Chassis. How ecompassing is that first link among all of the fox body cars? Or is it specific to Mustangs only?
I apologize, I'd be more forthcoming with info, but I'm trying to keep the wraps on my project until my YouTube video is published Tuesday of next week.
Those are ratios for all of the Foxes with 6.75, 7.5, or 8.8 rear.

This is what I have in the database:
Fairmont/Zephyr: 8 B F G Y
Capri/Mustang: 5 6 8 B E F G M R W Y Z
Cougar/Thunderbird: 5 8 F G K M R W Y Z
Granada: 8 B
Continental: 5 8 Y Z
LTD/Marquis: 8 B E F M R Y
Mark VII: 5 6 8 E W Y Z
So I haven't seen C or H yet, and I've seen K but it's not in my original list.

Well, I agree with Mic.
In 8.8 trucks, the one combination I had from another 2.47 axle user was was "88" for a 2.47 axle. This is contrary to the Fox info, but I know its easy to think a 8 is a B.
This piece of info affirms what FoxChassis is saying. .....With a 2.47 8.8" axle, the second letter might be "B"
I think
S800A
2478B4xxx
is correct for a for this quoted F truck 2.47 axle call tag below
It was quoted as....

"88" on the axle tag is correct. That is the ring gear diameter.
