Build Sheet vs Window Sticker - Differential
I suppose I could crawl under and count turns, but just for kicks......the original window sticker for my 82 shows a 2.72 rear ratio, but the build sheet shows 2.86. Which should I believe? Just curious..

Good question. I think I'd be more inclined to believe teh build sheet instead of the window sticker. The line workers actually built the car according to the build sheet.

Does your car have the aluminum wheels? I seem to remember reading that you got the 2:72 rear if you had the steel ralley wheels with the 225-70R15 and the 2:87 rear if you had aluminum wheels with the 255-60R15s.

By the way, my aluminum wheels got a triple dip of chrome. Lots easier to keep bright. Not correct , but bright.

I love the look of our wheels with a nice chrome coating BUT I am getting far too CHEAP in my old age to put out the $1,300 requested for them. For now I will just keep on rubbin' on mine with Simichrome Polish!!!!!
