'66 Dodge D-Dart at Mecum auction

The air cleaner doesn't look correct. The way the fuel line is routed on the inner fender panel doesn't look right. Also, it looks like it has the small rear axle assembly by the looks of the small bolt pattern on the wheels. I had a 64 1/2 Barracuda, and 2 65 Formula S cars at one time or another and as I recall, you couldn't get a ring and pinion over a 3:23 in it because the case was so small 7 1/4 I think. Does anyone know the gear ratio the D cars came with?

Chrysler offered a 3.91 for the 7.25 rear axle.
I had several 65 and 66 273 Formula S Barracuda's and installed them in every one several times.
Untill I got tired of breaking them and finally put a 8.75 from a wrecked 67 383 Dart.
Also all A bodies from 64 thru 69 had 4 inch bolt circle hubs.

The D's came with an 8 3/4 and 4.86 gears.

Someone else might know the answer to this one but I thought these cars came with radio/heater deletes yet this one obviously has a heater blower motor. The master cyl is wrong, same with proportioning valve which also points to disc's on the front. Original intake was 273/235 unit bored out to fit same size as max wedge carb butterflys.
