Re: [AMC-list] new amc's

I have AMC T4 gearsets.
Franks correct in ratios, they all match between the AMC T4 & T5
Except for the O/D ratios, those were different between the sixes
and 4's. That should not present a problem with you having a 4 speed.
  
  I'd be happy to sell off gears from the T4. don't need it for 
parts anymore since I have a second Spirit T5 to build.
