In 4th gear, how many rpms are you taching at 60mph?
Hi Decooney:

At 60, if memory serves, I am doing about 3500 RPM.

I counted the # of driveshaft turns or revolutions whist my son moved the rear wheel one revolution. That came out to be about 4 and 1/10th driveshaft turns for one rear wheel turn or about 4.1 ratio. Did this while the car was up on blocks on Sunday..
