That is my thought, with much lower than a 3.23, the car would be
downshifting on every little hill especially if you have cruise on the
car. A 31% overdrive is a bunch,,,,,,,,,,,,,
LOL,,,,,,,, I was very proud of myself on the control I had at the
auction, other than the max wedge rocker stands and oil pan, the only other
thing I bought was about a half dozen sets of 1965 Nebraska license
plates, so when I reregister my car this year it will be with a set of
those,,,,,,Let me know if you want me to go check your chrome parts.

Dodger,
yes, on the tranny. Ollie is going to use that same company
for a car of
his and he sent me the same link. Very interesting. I
was kinda
surprised at the rear ratio you recommend until I took into
consideratuion
the amount of overdrive. If I used that tranny and a
2:7? gear, would
that make the engine work harder in hills and
therefor make the gas mileage
worse?
Did you buy any more goodies at the auction
today?
