If it's the truck in your sig, and it's original, I'm pretty sure it's a 3.70.

Not sure if it matters, but the engine in the sig isn't the original to the truck. It originally had a 4 bbl 390.

I was thinking it was a lower ratio- I can't even fry the tire off unless it's wet out. I was thinking it was a 3.08.

The number you posted is not a valid code. There should be 3 digits at the beginning of the second line, followed by a 9. You have the 9 correct.... however the "AO" is incorrect.
