OK, 92" then, dam, I've been tracked down and busted by "da man" even over here. Quick, where's Pat when you need him? :)

The Lincoln Versailles had a 9" IRS setup and to this day is somewhat coveted in hot rodding circles. Some drop forged stub-axles and moly-tubed half shafts and you're ready for some wrinkle-wall low 9 second runs..**) |

The Lincoln Versailles had a 9 inch with disc brakes with a parking brake that rodders liked, but not a IRS--that was later with an 8.8

No Ernie---but it does draw attention to the fact that 3" of travel with a solid axle car with 12" driveshaft has about same angular differance as an IRS rear with 3" of travel and 12 " half shafts
