Re: 1986 Aussie 9 bolt disc
do you still have your RPO sheet? It would tell you on that the gear code.
9-bolt gear ratios are mostly different. Like a 3.27 instead of the common 3.42 in a 10-bolt.

The only correction I see is that the 3.73 is really 3.70
If you don't have the RPO build sheet, there still may be a tag attached to the diff cover with the code on it.

X2. Most 9-bolts I ever saw were on 350 cars. Im not saying that having a 305 and 9-bolt wasnt done. Just never seen one.
Like Skinny said, the gear ratios are close but differ. Also there was a small tag on the 9-bolts Ive come across.

Re: 1986 Aussie 9 bolt disc
Interesting.
For the record, the only 3.70 9-bolt I've seen is on a 305 powered 5 speed.
That was on a 86 Firebird.
I have come across several 9 bolts in other applications. My current install is a replacement for the 3.70 gear set that I shredded with what turned out to be a 3.27 ratio from a another wrecked Firebird.
