There's no single answer to the rear-end gear ratio in a 1979 Camaro RS. The ratio depended on the engine option, transmission option, and even sometimes the specific order. Common ratios included:

* 2.73: A common ratio for fuel economy.

* 3.08: A good compromise between performance and fuel economy.

* 3.73: More performance-oriented, sacrificing some fuel economy.

* 4.11: High-performance, low fuel economy.

To know the exact gear ratio of a specific 1979 Camaro RS, you'd need to:

* Check the Vehicle's Data Plate (or Build Sheet): This sticker (often located on the driver's side doorjamb) might list the axle ratio.

* Look at the Differential Tag: The differential itself usually has a tag indicating the gear ratio. You'll need to access the differential to see this.

* Check the Owner's Manual (if available): The owner's manual might specify the gear ratio.

Without more information about the specific car, it's impossible to state the rear-end gear ratio.
