There were a couple of suppliers for the posi unit, and a couple of different assembly plants. Check the numbers on yours to see what you actually have. Also, check THIS thread for more info...

You may want to re-think going to 373 gears in an '82. It has the 700R4 trans which has a 3.03 (about) first gear and with 373 rear gears it will scream thru first gear in a second! I wouldn't put more than 355's in there. Just my opinion.
