Not that it matters….

But it does a little….

Hamtramck 318 car. 8 3/4 housing hasn’t been out of it as far as I can tell. I’m gonna clean and paint it and I uncovered these yellow marks. Car is far from stock but I was curious is this is possibly a factory inspection mark?

More than likely, especially since the color under the black is yellow.

Here’s another pic taken 5 min before… it’s been hiding under that gack for 56 years. My phone put those white dots in pic. Not sure why

I want to clean it more and paint it. This is not a high dollar car nor is it a restoration by any stretch of the imagination so I hope I’m not committing a mopar sin by scrubbing it off

Not positive on this.. But I think I read somewhere that the yellow marks indicated that there was indeed lube in the rear end ???

You may get your fingers smacked with a ruler by the Purist Police, so I wouldn't worry about it.

On very nice original 8.75 rears I have seen the body designation painted on the rear in that location...for a B Body...a large B

Just tell the Purist Police that your 4 year old crawled under there with a tire crayon and created some art. Not original, just a kid having some fun.

Is this your 440 car? The one you want to put the hemi in? You'll surely be changing that 741 anyway.

My '68 had a "D", as did most I've seen.

742 on the shelf ready to go in.... I dont ever see putting a dana 60 in at the Hp level I desire. Uncovering the mark is the result of a dr diff rear disc install and I'm cleaning and painting some stuff while I'm in there. scraped and painted shock mount plates, housing. Not a pro job, just a quickie clean and spray can.

Hemi will be ways off by the time I get one built and get time to put it in the car.
