The 8.5 refers to the ring gear demention. The 8.5 is the stronger 10 bolt rear. Its pinion is the same thickness as a 12 bolt and the ring gear is only .2 smaller than a 12 bolt. It is prefered over the 8.2. But your 8.2 should handle a mild 350 unless your planning on drag racing.
The 8.5 was in the A body cars late in 72. Not sure of the other models.

That would be for every 3.36 turns of your drive shaft one turn of your wheel.
