Probably 3.15 ratio. If it has a round cover on the back it will be the AMC 20. The smaller AMC 15 I believe has the drain plug in the cover. Don't forget that it is a torque tube rear axle.

As TomJ says -- should be a metal tag with two numbers on it like 13/43. Divide big number by little to get the ratio, round to nearest two decimal places (13/43 is 3.3076923... 3.31 ratio). If you can't find or read the tag, you have to remove the rear cover and count the teeth on the gears. The 13/43 is the number of teeth on the pinion and ring gears.
