Re: [AMC-list] 196/t96/od gear ratios

[tom jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

That axle/trans (3.77, OD) combo is *perfect* for that car and motor. 60mph
all day long with no stress, can get up to 70, 75 but I never hold that
speed. Out of OD, 50 mph is pushing it, but around town it's great.

I'm running 215/60-R15 tires front and rear. !!#!@!~~ spreadsheet program is
crashing else I'd give you numbers.

A spreadsheet that calcs all that crap is at
