323 or 327 lsd

your best bet would be to get underneath the car and have a look.

Most would be auto, but a few manuals are about AFIK.

I'd say 3.27 LSD, I don't think 3.23 came out until EF's? Or was this also available on EB and ED's?
Where abouts is the ratio stamped on the diff? That black tag on the filler plug just says "High Performance" something rather...

EA-EBI you could get manual Fairmont Ghias, even in V8 form. EBII went Auto only.

I seriously doubt manual V8 Ghias, the only manual was the XR8 (from memory)

EA2/EB1 had 3.23 in some models including Ghias with the 4sp auto or manual, EB2-ED had 3.27 then EF went back to 3.23

I think there were only 30 EBI V8 Fairmont/Ghias made, unsure of exact number but there were definately made.
