1988 Trans Am Rear end Help
Hey,
I drive a 1988 Gta Trans am automatic 305 tpi and i was wondering if anyone knew the stock gears in my car. I was wondering if it was 273 or 323 or somthing else, i am not quite sure. I would also like to know where i could purchase 373 gears for my car. I'm looking for light to light speed with comfortable around town driving also. I was told 373 was the way to go. Feel free to give your own opinion. Oh yea it has 19k miles original.
Thanks,
Dac

The best bet is to yank the cover and verify what you have. That said, check the following link:
