Default 84 rear end gear ratio codes

Have a 84 rear end I took out of a corvette many years ago. Was wondering if anyone can post the rear end codes for this year. I want to use it but need to determine the ratio to get the computer set up correctly. Thanks. I will have to go to the shop to get my numbers. Thanks

All but about 450 or so '84 vettes had the 3.07 D36, the lucky few got a 3.31 D36. That's about 1% of total production.

The RPO code #HE3 was in the 51,137 that came with the standard 3.07:1 diff. The other 410 had both RPO codes G92, performance ratio and GW4, for the 3.31:1 ratio. There are numbers stamped on the bottom of the carrier that either are, or will decode, the ratio.

RACE ON!!!

No. Whatever that is, it is meaningless for the diff ratio. Where are you looking?

RACE ON!!!
