Rear-end ratios 200

My 1982 245 has about 245K on it now and I've got some rear end noise. I've replaced the rear wheel bearings and that helped some, but the noise continues. I believe the drive gears have just had it. I haven't been able to turn up a rear end with the ratio I need (3.54), while I have come across several acceptable-mileage cars without readable ratio tags. I know there are four different ratios available. What I'm wondering is if someone might know which models would have the ratio I need. I look first for a car like mine--245 wagon with M46 transmission--but haven't found any. Do you know if some other model would have that same ratio?
