It has been months since I started this project I bought that was a mess. It had exploded and wiped out lots of parts that I remachined rather than buy new. After it was together and installed in the car I found that the Ruckstell side housing was bent,,REAL BAD ! I worked on that for a few hours and ended up heating it up at the tube to straighten it out so the outer bearing would go in. Tonight I put it in low gear and took it for a spin. 3.08 to 1 in a 26 coupe with 280 cam, light porting, dist, and a Z head works GREAT ! I went home and put it in high gear,"""I dont have the shifter Yet """" and went for another spin. I really like the gears now. :-) shifter install tomorrow and a good ride on Friday..
Thanks guys for the info on gear ratio a few weeks ago. I AM HAPPY
Very glad to hear it. Won't be able to keep up with you now!
