I would like to do it myself and plenty of info out there to show me how. Gears are just under $200 bucks I just have to figure out what gear ratio I need that work well with my over drive.
No overdrive here. Not racing any more so I went from a 4.88 to a3.21 much more streetable gear, can still melt the tires right off it if I want to, and I can pass the odd gas station here and there. LOL. A guy has to take wheel and tire size into consideration also. When I was racing it had it figured to be turning about 6 k at the line

Yea not racing mine just like to be able to do 70 mph without running up the tach.
 
Me as well. But the crap packs and gain thickness. Now just waiting for a couple nice warm days to soften the pack so I can shave it off with the Massey with out putting all the gravel on driveway on the grass
Good way to do it, I would do that if I had a blade.
 
Morning to answer your question the main fuse , as I understand is for the whole car , all I can tell you it was an asshole to change :)

I can tear down and reassemble a new car including the dash without to much defaculty, but when it comes to working on anything under the hood it's definitely a nightmare.
When you say it's an asshole to get to Biff I believe you.

Take your final overdrive ratio, and multiply the gear ratio, I'm sure you know this, to get a better idea what you want.
So if your od is 0.68 x 3.55 = 2.41. I probably would not go lower, that would still give you excellent acceleration and cut the rpm at hwy speeds.
Your 4.10 gives you a 2.78 in od, still not terrible, but the 3.55s will drop the rpm a good bit.
 
Plus you are running a 904 if I recall correctly. That gives you a lower starting gear. Stall speed, cam, yada yada yada. Just dont want it loping at cruise.
I'm not real good at figuring it all out Charlie but would like to stay under 3,000 at 65mph.
 
if my calculations are correct, that 1 cm is below my threshold for firing up the plow truck

(of course, i understand im not running a whole city)
They used the brine truck as a first response. The plows weren't even out. Probably just using up this years supply of brine or they won't get the same funding for ir next year. I'm sure everyone is familiar with that.
 
Morning guys looks like Murry and I are back in the freezer were at -9*f.
Was thinking of changing the rear end gears in my Scamp from 4:10s to about 3:55s. Never built a rear end so not sure if I can do it or have someone that knows how set it up.
Probably better to give it to someone familiar with doing that. If not set up properly they will whine like a wife on a Saturday night or run the pinion too tight.
You're right though there is lots of info on Google.

I have a hard time trusting anyone anymore Mark, don't know if it's old age or being screwed to many times.
