J,

Lawrie,
Running 3.54 gears and a 26% overdrive gives you about a 2.60 final gear. I run a 3.78 gear with a 26% Mitchell and is a great combination with a stock engine. Mine would not like any...

Re: Stop Stall

We had the same stop stall problem with our '30 coupe. Found that braking hard in reverse caused no stall. Raised the float level and the stop stall was over.
