Figuring out rear axle ratio…what the……

So on my Cuda, when I got it, I wanted to know what the rear axle ratio was.....I marked the rear wheel on the inside surface and a corresponding mark on the backing plate.....then a mark on the shaft yoke and a corresponding mark on the lump.

Rotated the wheel one turn and counted the number of turns of the shaft. Got around 2 3/4, which is a 2.76. When I pulled the 3rde member later I confirmed that....2.76.

Well, tried the same thing on the Volare the other day...and got 1.3...
