ok i definitely don't have that stamping. the previous owner said he would get it going 45 MPH easily but thats about it. Liar? Unfortunatly I had it shipped to me from afar so no test drive. I can only get 25 MPH. That is sloooow. Even for the low geared AA. Running the Zenith Carb original. But she leaks. All I want To go is about 45Mph, not looking for anything more, but less is not ideal. Anybody got a high speed diff for sale? shoot.......
