Re: rear ends
Check the RPO list !
It either in the console OR in the luggage compartment lids.
It should have a G in the first letter
Also look for G-80 and possibly G-92.
(depending on year)

Re: rear ends
Yup, check the spi/ rpo code decal, it should be in the console.
Is the car a 5speed or auto? That would help our guessing game.

Re: rear ends
Formula LG4/A4 - 2.73
Formula LG4/M5 - 3.08?
Formula LB9/A4 - 2.73
Formula LB9/MM5 - 3.45
Formula 350 - 3.27
There was no G92 option on the Firebird in 1987. It was all tied up with packages. For example, (Cars sold in the US) All Formula & GTA LB9/MM5 cars have the 3.45 axle, or 3.42 axle. All Formula L03/A4, LG4/A4, LB9/A4 have the 2.73, The L03 & LG4 with M5 got the 3.08, the Formula & GTA 350 cars all got the 3.27 or 3.23 axle. The Trans Am was a little different, with the LB9/M5 got the 3.08, but some years got an optional 3.42, and the Trans Am with the 350 I would have to look into.
