Isn't there a 7.5", 8.2" and an 8.5" 10 bolt? By the RPO, I know I have the 3.23, but not sure what size ring gear. Is there something in the RPO that tells or a marking on the housing?

To my knowledge, all the stock rear ends for these cars were 7.5"

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! I do have the GU5 option I saw it on the RPO. It had several different options than normal stock because my Camaro is a B4C, the Police Interceptor model.
