Thanks for your help Treeclimber!

Does any one know how to ID an AMC 20 rear end? I also need to change the rear pinion seal and all the rear diff has for numbers is right on the bottom and it say "266"

thats all it says anywhere on the diff:eeek:

Not oval, round like Charlie Brown's head. Or do you mean which particular AMC 20, and as far as I know, that doesn't matter, they're all the same.

That's not a AMC20

Probably a D44

Can you carefully clean the tag & photo it. If not, what does the tag read?

Typically, those tags will read something like:
41 10 4.10

Implying 41 teeth on the ring gear, 10 teeth on the pinion gear, and an axle ratio of 4.10

If you only have the 41 10, then you can do the math yourself.

Occasionally you'll see a letter, indicating a type of factory limited slip or locker differential
