I have an 86 with Alum Heads. I replaced my MAF relays and the MAF sensor. She's running real nice now. I would like to upgrade the PROM. I need to know what my gear ratio is to get the correct part, don't have a clue as to how to determine that. I also need to know what the tranny is??? It's an automatic with OD. Every thing is stock. Any help??? How hard is it to do this upgrade?

Your auto tranny is a 700R/4. If you have RPO G92 your axel ratio is 3.07, else it's 2.59.

the rear axle code is a yellow sticker attached to the left mounting bracket of the diff. cover.......1986

2:59-6YB
2:73-5YN
3:07-5YX
3:07-4YT
3:07-4YL

.....if you can't find your RPO Sticker.....

I think 3:45 is the best ratio for an L98 per most Forum Member's.......
