Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I have a rebuilt, stock engine. I currently have a 3.78 rear. I have identified my transmission gear ratios from the chart:
3.39 3.50 2.14 1.39 1.00 0.78. The car runs fine, have had it up to 60 mph, no problem, but 1st is very low, 4th seems to be needed a bit early. With all this info., how do I proceed. Perhaps a 3.54 rear end ratio would be helpful? Or maybe just leave it alone?
