it is Chry 8 1/4, thought the 3/4 does exist, not sure what it used in
though

the Chry 8 1/4 is better than the Dana35, but not as good as a Dana 44. 96
and older 8 1/4s have 27 axle splines, 97 and newer have 29 (stronger).
Some 96's have 29.

Here is some info I have collected, ordered by relitive strength all
measurement are in inches
