Re: High performance fuel mileage



 That is my thought, with much lower than a 3.23, the car would be downshifting on every little hill especially if you have cruise on the car.  A 31% overdrive is a bunch,,,,,,,,,,,,,
 
LOL,,,,,,,, I was very  proud of myself on the control I had at the auction, other than the max wedge rocker stands and oil pan, the only other thing I bought was about a half dozen sets of 1965 Nebraska  license plates, so when I reregister my car this year it will be with a set of those,,,,,,Let me know if you want me to go check your chrome parts.

Dodger, yes, on the tranny. Ollie is going to use that same company
for a car of his and he sent me the same link. Very interesting.  I
was kinda surprised at the rear ratio you recommend until I took into
consideratuion the amount of overdrive.  If I used that tranny and a
2:7? gear, would that make the engine work harder in hills and
therefor make the gas mileage worse?
Did you buy any more goodies at the auction
today? .......................MO
