Default Re: Drivetrain Advice Needed

For Interstate cruising I put 3.25 rear end gears in my '41 coupe, a heavier car than your '32. I have the 16/28 transmission and was prepared to change to 15/29 to get a low enough low gear for slow speed maneuvering and starting on hills. With the great torque of my 284 inch engine, I have decided that the lower gear is not necessary. Cruises 65 mph at about 2500 rpm; good mileage and relatively quiet.
