Just for the record, "269" was a gear ratio available in the 1959Fairlane & Galaxie. It was teamed up with the 352cid & Cruise-o-matic option. Pull the 3rd member out and count the ring gear & pinion gear teeth, then divide the # of ring gear teeth by the # of pinion gear teeth. That will give you the actual gear ratio & a chance to see what all the bearings look like & an indication of the general wear on the rear diff.
