I can't convince him (dad) to change

By Greg Westphall - 04/10/2005 11:35:13 PM; IP 64.53.146.205

to a lower gear. A 3.25:1 would be a great choice for him but he insists on a 3.0:1 or even taller. He is interested in making long trips in the car once he retires and does not have overdrive so he feels the tall gears are a requirement. A gearvendors O/D may be in his future if I can talk him into it. Then he might go with lower gears. He and I made a trip to Talledega for the Aero Warriors Reunion in his old (he bought it new) 1969 Cyclone CJ which I bought from him and restored. It has 3.5:1 gears and was a real screamer at 75 mph. We were both wishing for taller gears by the end of the trip. He is much less interested in a stop light grand prix and more interested in interstate crusing with a very strong passing gear.

Thanks for the camshaft recommendation. I will look closely at the Comp Cams offerings suggested.
