finding out the gear ratio of a 10 bolt.

today i opened up my read end in my 66 el camino. its a 10 bolt. not sure if its the origional one. i took this code off of the ring gear:

GM 3790628-11 37- 66

is there any way i can find out the gear ratio through these numbers?

GM 3790628-11 37- 66
GM 3790628=part number
11 37=gear ratio 3.36 37 ring gear teeth divided by 11 pinion gear teeth.
66=year

With this information, I would say you have the original axle and gears.
