3.55 rear gears

Man Fishy you must have a LOOSE converter.

Mine before I tore it down, 28.4 or less so tall tire, 3.7 gear, "tight" old "van" converter about a LOL 1800 stall, the thing ran somewheres 32-3300 at 70 mph

Calculator on mine with 28" tires shows about 2600 for 60mph. I would not want it any lower for the "street" but I'll tell you, even that little 318 snorted with that gearing.

2nc gear (manual body 727) was good for about 82 mph. So you could tap it down at 65 and 2nd was good for about 2 seconds and you were "back in third." I had the Holley rev limit at 5700 and it caught me off guard a couple of times.

It also caught the Richard I was passing off guard, LMAO
