Drove it today. About 125 miles. some 60 mph mosy @ 65-70 rpms upto about 3300 @ 70. Not pleasant. Refilled and added 5.6 gallons. It still has the 3.36 gears and 27" tires with no overdrive. Plenty of spunk too! Tonight, regear to 2.56 gears, should get the RPMs down to a managable # and the mileage up.
This thing is loud. Need a resonator to jam into the tail pipe.
You should have seen all the leaves blowing out of the floor vents when it first got upto speed.
hope to depart on Sunday. Will miss the supper at Will's. Darn, my work had me toooo busy to get this thing done. Today, the boy and I put in the carpet, front seat, and newly installed 3 point seat belts. The timing is a bit too much at highway speed, will dial that back down. It bucks abit.
