factory rear gears?
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the factory rearend gears were for a 1977 L-82. Did the L-82 have a different setup (lower ratio)? Thanks for the help...

I'm just curious as to what the gears on my 80 would be. All I know is that it's advertised as "The last Corvette carburated, w/o computer and the tall gears from the muscle car era..."
I'm wondering what exactly means "tall gears"?
