1/4 mile times with 3.23 gear

My first car was a 74 Dart four door, 225 slant six and 904. It ran mid 16s first and only time I had it on the track. Only way I could shave off a tenth was to inflate the tires to the max lol

Believe it had a gear ratio below 3, whatever came in the 7 1/4 years. 2.71?
A stock 225 in a 3500 car running mid 16's, I find that hard to believe
