1981-83 real axle ratio

["Rob P" <fristpenny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Phil,
when I bought my '83 it came with a posi.  I was told it was a mopar perf. 
posi w/a 2/94 ratio in the stock rear.  I believe they just sell the center 
section and you have it installed.  In all honesty I have barely looked 
under the car & it allegedly has Diplomat cop car springs and a rear sway 
bar ( it's kind of small-OK I looked once).
