Re: [AMC-List] gears for a 65 Classic

[Mark Price <markprice242@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

3:55's are a bit much for the highway on long trips.
If you run primarily around town. They are an excellent gear.
You can find RPM calculators by doing a search online. Just enter your tire size or diameter and gear ratio and it will give you a close RPM. It will be a bit on the low side due to converter slippage on the automatic.
