im at a point to just pull the rear end cover.... i had an 82 firebird se that i took out the crappy 200c out of and replaced with a 700r4 and i still have a 91 camaro rs both cars would get about 70-75 mph at around 2000 rpm the 82 had diff then stock tires .... in the new addition to my f body fam is a 92 formula and about 62 mph in o/d locked up im at 2000 rpm the rpo code says that i have 3.23 gears im running stock 245-50-16 tires and the speedometer is correct as i got a ticket for 87 and i was doin just that lol... is that correct does anyone else have 3.23 gears that can relate to that prm range or does it sound more like 3.73's in there
here are the rear end codes as i found on the sticker

As JamesC pointed out it sounds like you're speedo is in the right range. I have 3.23s on my '83 Z28 and my speedo registers about the same. There were codes stamped into the right axle tube (diff side about center) that will show ratio codes and build date - if they are still readable.

Miss my '70 Monte Carlo SS454
damn.. seems like my 82 t/a was the only 82 ever made without 3.23
it was 200c trans as well.
2.73 sucks.
not fair!
i had to stick a 2400 stall converter in the th350 i put under it to help make up for the crap axle ratio
hmm..
