What rear gears? 3.23? (I saw posi on the BS)

Ryan W31.

I think the 3.23 rear was for the auto. 3.42 for the 4 speed AFAIK. Rear would have a WC code.

The rears used 'P' codes actually with 3.42 being PY code. WC is the engine suffix on the front of a 4-speed W72 block in '78.

I just sold this 78 W72 4 speed blue bird. It is very rough but all there. Good job on finding a much nicer car!

Nice find! That one is optioned perfectly IMO. My one and only T/A was the same year and color combo that I bought in the late 80's, but it was a CA car with the dreaded 403 Olds smog engine with an auto trans. My girlfriend at the time really liked driving it, but I didn't keep it long.
