ok i found this thread just now by accident and blyth18md has the identical drivetrain as mine and many others' here 82's do, his got 3.23 ratio
mine got 2.73 garbage

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/prob...info-main.html


on TGO's spec pages it shows that the LG4 cars in 82 all got the 2.73 axle

and says nothing about any optional ratios

i am confused ?

did someone special order blyth's 82 to be 3.23 specifically, or what ?

very curious to learn here

please elaborate if possible



thanks

 

my '82 with T-10 has/had a 3.23 posi, stock.

 

what was original drivetrain ?

another funny one is the 82 z-28 i just parted it was an LG4 4 speed manual car and it was 3.42

so what the heck is going on

they really must not have thought that mine needed a decent axle ratio, for some odd reason

hum


thanks

 

that's original drivetrain. Had an LG4 if that's what you meant.

 

yeah

was it originally manual trans ?

thanks

 

yep. The original trans was the T-10

 

ok i dont know my car (side-loader) 4 speeds very well but thats the 4 speed right ?

what would also have been in the 82 z28 i just stripped, it was LG4 and 4 speed

thanks

 

maybe.

Where was reverse, top left, or bottom left?
is the case aluminum, or iron.

If it was top left, and aluminum, you have yourself a highly desireable superT10 trans, hold on to that baby.

If not, just a POS saginaw, dump it in your local pile.
