Well... when you are there in the shop... LOOK UP...
His sanctum sanctorum (sp?) is up in the parts loft above the workshop bay.

The 3.31 is interesting... in that it can be very hard to drive the car slowly for example in a parking lot. The car will kind of "lurch...lurch...lurch" at any speed under 7 or so miles per hour. Since I have a racing clutch in my car (BIG MISTAKE which I will change some day when I need a new clutch) which is an IN or OUT type clutch I cannot feather the clutch or slip it without alot of wobble feedback as it tries to grab.

The 3.08 could possibly amplify the lurching at low speed, so be aware of this...

The easy way to test what ratio you have is to count the number of full turns on the diff drive shaft input that it takes to turn the half shaft drive shaft(s) one turn. Also, there typically is a tag on one of the diff plate bolts that is embossed with the ratio.

Have you gone to my website (see below) to see the big pic of my ERA (it is at the bottom of the home page).
