88 TA rear end?
Looking at getting a 88 TA rear for my 88 camaro. This should be a direct bolt in right? Claims to have a 3.23:1 posi unit in it. Is it worth 300 bucks.
Rear has disc brakes and aluminum calipers

From what I have seen locally (SE Georgia) 300 bucks is about right provided you dont have to completely rebuild it, and, yes, it should bolt right in.

Verify whether the rear is a 9- or 10-bolt. You'll need a first design 1LE combination valve for best braking performance, parking brake cables, and speedo drive and/or driven gears to make the speedo function correctly.

Re: 88 TA rear end?
If the rotors are 11.7" accompanied by alum PBR calipers, the brakes have either been swapped on the car or the rear isn't from an 88 (should be 89+).

EDIT: BTW, if the rear is a 10-bolt with PBR's, it'll be 90+.

Re: 88 TA rear end?
Is there anyway I can get a aftermarket combo valve and use that? I plan on running all new brake lines etc. while I'm under the car. Thanks for the help

No, unless you have to pass an inspection. If you're running a T-5, you'll miss the parking brake in the long run.
