Probably 2.73, don't think you'll be finding a build sheet in an 82

 

I have an 83 TA, LG4 with J65 brakes and a 200C. It has 3:23 gears in it from the factory. I have the dealer options list for the car and it shows the 3:23 as being a sport option or something.

I've seen a chart somewhere (on this board I think) that shows what was available for each year.

 

3,23 is a 7.5" ratio ? i thought that was a borg warner ratio ?

and no build sheets in the 82's ?? so not only is there no SPID label, but there is no sheet either ??

that is NOT a good thing at all...

when was first year for build sheet in F body ? i know there was a sheet in the 83 cars at least the B bodies cuz i keep finding pieces of it under the front seat in the 83 caprice i drive,

thanks for anything further

For what it's worth, and according to the option sheet, that's what's in it??

 

I found the build sheet (what was left of it) under the passenger side seat stuffed up into the seat springs. Chances are its a 2.73. If you dont know the ratio theres a good chance the rear end has NEVER been serviced, time to kill two birds with one stone.

 

interesting,,

maybe 3.27 is the borg ratio im thinking of


hmmm,,


thanks

 

looks like i need to unbolt seat and dig through under it then, i completely pulled up rear carpeting and came up with nothing



thanks

 

If it has WS6, it came standard with a 2.93- optional 3.23. From May on, it could have 3.23 at no extra charge.

 

I've found no build sheet in mine (so far) seats have been redone but I never saw anything under them

 

no idea, apparently theres no way to find out RPO's on a car before 84, crappy,.,,

i know that its a t/a cuz has the dome hood and all GFX and tinted taillights, hmm..



thanks

 

If it has 4-wheel disc brakes, it has WS6.

 

rear disc available in 82 even ? i thought was an 83 or 84-up thing ?

even so this is just a t/a its LG4 not L69

WS6 are pretty uncommon, ive only come across one and it was an '85, was 3.08 posi disc i didnt want junk like that so i sold it for 30 bucks


thanks

 

Yes, it started with WS6 in '79.
During a rear disc shortage in '82, WS7-(WS6 minus rear disc) replaced WS6. WS6 was manditory on the LU5.

even so this is just a t/a its LG4 not L69
If it doesn't have a posi, it is a 2.73
'82 LG4 without WS6 or WS7 has a 2.73
'82 LG4 with WS6 or WS7 has 3.23

It is the '82 LU5 that is 2.93 or 3.23

WS6 are pretty uncommon, ive only come across one and it was an '85, was 3.08

There are plenty out there.

 

2.73, ouch, i hate those gears, glad i came across a 3.42 to put under the car D

thanks for your info glad to learn that 79 was first year for WS6

still is too bad are no way of knowing RPO's on a '83-down car, thats crazy..
