Default Re: Mitchell 26% or 36%?

I forgot to mention I'm driving a roadster with 16 inch tires, which with a "touring" engine works well for me with the 3:54 rear end and 26% Mitchell O.D. Had I not changed out the 4:11 rear for a 3:54 I would have changed the Mitchell gears to the 36%, but by the time I was smart enough to discuss this with Mitchell I had already changed out the gears and rebuilt the entire rear end, so day late and dollar short, but it does cruise fine around 55 and can get 60 to 65 real easily without a H/C head, though I may yet put one on someday soon.
