I thought Richmond or Rockland Standard Gear made those?

Is this for a manual or automatic car? Makes a big difference.

#1 Welcome to the site.

#2 We need more info as far as the rear end. As stated before, do you have an auto (d36) or a manual (d44)? If you have an auto, what is the stock gear ratio? You will need a different gear set if you have 2.59 vs 3.07 gears stock as the carrier is different.

Gee I skipped right over that. Still need to know the original ratio for the carrier size - thick vs thin ring set.

You can get 3.54 in thick gear set from Exotic Muscle or directly from Richmond. I got mine from EM when I bought my headers. They might make the 3.73 in the thick ring gear for the D36 but not sure about that ratio.

As noted above all you need to know is your original ratio ;
2.59 will require "thick " gear replacement
3.07 will require regular " thin " gear set
