Default Re: Cruising your stocker

I used to drive a 39 standard with 60 hp, original 4:44 rear
Top speed on flat ground was 74, was happy at 65 though fuel economy would drop below 25 mpg over 60, as soon as it slowed to 40 i would downshift to 2nd.
I drive my stock model A over 60 mph too, have driven the length of the PA turnpike at 65 comfortably too.
