LD .....I'm glad to hear that you finally got it all together. In view of your statements above, it MIGHT be a good thing if you would emphasize for folks, just how glad you are that you ended-up with the Mustang CLOSE RATIO (3.35 1st gear) gear set, RATHER THAN that dumb S-10 gear set with the goofy "granny" 1st gear, and widely-spaced 2nd thru 4th gears. Ya done GOOD! DD
