Re: IML: 58 rear axle ratios

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

>From what I recall with the hemis, the AC cars had 3.18's, and non-AC cars had
2.93 (probably the same as the later 2.94, they just round it off differently,
the real ratio is 2.9375 as I recall!).  Later with the 413's and 440, the 2.94
was standard either way, I guess due to the increased torque.
