A good source for specs are the original dealer brochures. You'll find them all here:

Never assume that a certain year car actually has that gear set. Too much swapping on these spridgets over the years. Also other gear sets were available, mine is a no longer available set of 39 teeth on the ring and 11 on the pinion for 3.55:1 ratio.
