Re: Seats and rearend(not yours...the cars:) 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Evan R on  Tue Oct 30 16:13 CST 2001 [RELATED]

any 242 seats will fit your car. They made 242's from '75-'84.

244 and 245 seats will fit your car, but they don't fold forward. I guess that'd be okay if you never use the rear seat for anything.

As for the rear axle, your car has disc brakes, too. All cars from the 140 series forward do...

As for the rario, your car currently has:

a 3.91:1 if it is a stick

a 3.73:1 if it's an auto

An '85 might have:

3.73:1 if a turbo w/stick

3.93:1 if turbo/auto

3.31:1 if nonturbo/stick

3.73:1 if nonturbo/auto

Therefore, the only benefit if you're looking for taller gears is the nonturbo/stick 3.31:1. BUT your car has 7 fewer horsepower than the '85 B230F. I'd guess it'd be a real dog off the line with those gears.
