I’ve been scouring the net and everything I see lead me to believe that it’s a 8.5 and it may not be the original Camaro rear. I inspected the gears and find no broken or worn teeth anywhere and there are no weird noises coming from the unit so I may just slap my disc brakes on it and call it good.
