" From: Wrambler <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx> " " One other comment, 16:1 is a workout " My brother had a 70 Mustang with the shot ram style Ford P/S. " So we swapped manual linkage onto the 16:1 Mustang power box. " It had the little moonish wheel too! there's your reason, no leverage on the wheel. i don't consider myself an ironman, but i found 16:1 with stock 17" wheel just fine on my american. it does call for some effort at low speed and i quickly learned to creep the car when i needed to crank the wheel, but i have never needed to grunt. ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
