All due respect, this is incorrect. The range goes like this for the original 8.2 in these A body cars: 2:56- 2:78 share a carrier, 2.93-3.08-3.23 share the same carrier, and 3.36-3.55-3.90-4.33 share the same carrier. Every original Tripower GTO I have seen with a stick had a 3.55 in it. In fact, in 45 years, haven't seen a real TP car with a 3.23 rear end...ever. Not saying they weren't built, but saying that almost every one of them came with a 3.23 has not been my experience on this planet.
