Re: [Amc-list] 1982 Concord diff gearing?

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

82 TSM says that Spirit and Concord w/258 and SR4, T-4, or T-5 got 2.35 gears stock. CA cars got 2.53, and towing option got 2.73 (Concord only on the tow option). Eagles got a 2.73 or 2.35 for manual trannys (2.35 only for 904) w/3.08 for towing. High altitude got 2.73 manual, 2.73 or 3.31 auto. 

If you want more gear, the four cylinder Concord/Spirit got 3.08s with all trannys. That shouldn't be too hard to find. A 2.73 Eagle axle shouldn't be too hard to find either, but you have to change the leaf spring seats from above to below the axle. Just buy new seats from a 4x4 shop and weld on, leave the old ones up top -- won't hurt a thing!

HI guys,
I'm now trying to find out what the diff gearing would be for the '82 Concord with the T5 tranny. I would assume 2.73:1, but want to make sure it's not like a 2.21:1.? Anyone have info or links for this combo?? Thanks.
