<VV> too much tranny?

[Jim Thomas]

Hank,

I'll jump in, since most everyone seems to be at the convention.

Yahoo!!

Glad to hear you got to take 'er for a ride.

On the too much tranny thing. . .   I think what you mean is you might have 
the wrong axle ratio. Whether you have an early or late, 3 speed or 4 speed, 
car or FC, high gear in the transmission is always a 1:1 ratio. So if you 
have too many revs at highway speeds, you need to change your rear end gear. 
I don't remember what you put in it, but not too hard to change, especially 
if you use *ULTRA* parts.

Congrats again on getting her on the road.

All
You might see me jump to caps, as I feel the need to scream....

TOOK THE EUM ON ITS TEST DRIVE THIS AM!!!!!!!

<snip>
     Only real bug is it seems to have too much tranny---this 4 speed I 
believe
was originally in a van, and probably will be in a van again someday. When 
going
60, it sounds like you're going 70. I doubt I will take it up over 70mph 
anyway,
not too many places around here other than the interstate where you can go 
70,
and I don't choose to do that often on a vehicle with 4 drum brakes. too 
long of
a distance to stop. But overall, a torquey drivetrain. No problem for me.

Passed safety inspection with flying colors. Alignment done right, tracks
flawlessly.

See next post......

HANK
