Not sure I'd call it call deck height, but believe we're on the same page.
Can go out & measure the distance from base of LH carrier bearing to the ring gear flange

2.56 & 2.78 were used on the high ratio carrier.
2.93-3.08-3.23 mounted on the mid ratio carrier. To mount a 3.55 ring gear, will need a low ratio carrier, or in a huge pinch you could run, the low ratio ring ger on a mid ratio 8.2 Pontiac carrier using a Mr G 8.2 ring gear spacer & lib amt of locktite on the bolt threads. On Pontiac 8.2 carriers, keep in mind, in late '69 model, at least on Bird rears the carrier & ring gear went to 1/16" diam larger diam ring gear bolts which are LH thread. All '70-72 8.2 Pontiacs used the late 8.2 Pontiac style carrier & oem ring & pinion.
