Hi guys,
Sorry for butting into your p#ssing contest:rol:
Chris, do not forget you have a 4 speed auto in your horse which means you are in overdrive when you are doing 65 @2000.
Blockers C4 is at 1:1 in top gear. The rest is mathematics.

Which works out about 3.9:1 diff gears. That took me about 3 seconds to figure out.
(O.K. i used my trusty Moroso calculator) :smile:

It makes you wonder why the Yanks didn't get into overdrive transmissions at a much earlier time.  It would've made a lot of cars in the muscle car era a lot more user friendly.

Bonny Chris, did not Pontiac offer a 4 speed auto option in the Bonneville line back in the early sixties?
I used to own a 64 Bonny coupe with a 421 and 4 speed auto when i was a puppy but i can not remember if 4th was overdrive or not.
Help me!

The 55 olds is a 4 speed auto but 4th is 1.1  1st is 3.82, 2nd 2.63, 3rd 1.45 but with ratios like that i'm sure the diff will be very tall.

Boxing gloves for them bigblocks with the excuse book :pat:

Block like yourself is happy with what he has.
