Brian, yes, the '85 has taller gearing. The '84 and earlier turbos have 3.07 rear end gears, but in '85 they switched (on both the 123 and 126) to 2.88 gears. I'm turning 3000 RPM at 70mph

No wonder the it creeps up to 75-80 mph! Those 2.88 gears are what I want in the SD! I've put 215-70-14's on it to effectively increase the speed by 3mph at a given rpm, but the 2.88's would really be the ticket
