Not to be badly served but there is no pages for any of the 1941-1948 Ford, Mercury and Lincoln torque tube drive and rear end. There is interestingly enough a pair of pages for the Lincoln planetary type Overdrive attached to the rear of the transmission. Section VI page 107-108 in Ford V-8 Service Bulletins 1941-1948 Complete. Let me seek more widely. 4.33:1 is mentioned for the Zephyr V-12 in 1936 in this article. My search for others will continue. https://auto.howstuffworks.com/1936-1948-lincoln-zephyr.htm

I could not find the rear end gear set for the 42-48 differential in the 1939-1946 Chassis Parts Catalog. I went to the Old Car Brochures site and looked at the specs for a 1947 Lincoln in the 1947 Brochure. The rear end ratios given there are 4.22 without over drive and 4.44 with overdrive. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Lincoln/1947_Lincoln/1947%20Lincoln%20Brochure/image4.html I suggest that you look on the bottom of the housing for 2 numbers like "35 8". Divide the smaller number into the larger number to get the ratio. The number will most likely be on the support for the pinion gear. Tom
