The AMC 15 series rearend has a 7-9/16" ring gear. It was used in 1965 and earlier models with 196 ci or 199 ci inline 6 engines. The small cars (cars other than those listed below as "big car") used the AMC 15 rearend with inline 6 engines, AMC 20 rearend was used with V8 engines. The AMC 20 rearend could be ordered in fleet cars with inline 6 engines. AMC sold the tooling equipment for its differentials to the Dana Corporation in 1985 - the AMC 15 was modified by Dana and rebranded as the Dana 35/35C - ring/pinion sets including the axleshafts do not interchange with the AMC 15.
