Been running my 65 Chevelle wagon with a Richmond 5 speed (non-Overdrive) since 2012. The car has 2.56 rear gears to help on the highway. I put it together with this combo because it is what parts were in the shed at the time.But the problem being, can't spin the tires off the line.
Well that is getting fixed soon. Bought a Mcleod 5 speed, it does have overdrive of .63. The rear gears will need to be swapped. Probably go with 3.73 or close to it. Will do some calculations.
