I found the ratio written on the outer edge of the crownwheel of the last Ford diff i opened up. Alternatively, you can count the number of teeth on the crownwheel and pinion if you have the rear cover off. Simple division will then give you the ratio

^^ What he said.

Degree marker of some kind will give you a more accurate reading. Obviously

Other way round though, turn the driveshafts one rotation and the number of rotations of the input will give you the ratio. Do 10 turns if you want to be really accurate.
