Re: Rear gears
probably either an inacurate tach, or a guestimate on RPMs.

Re: Rear gears
If it is a stock tach it is definitely not accurate. Pretty much all of those old tachs read at least several hundred RPM high.

Re: Rear gears
Factorystock,Sorry I lost track of this thread...my kids were on the computer and I forgot to go back to it. The tranny I swapped for the 3 spd is a New Process GM MY6...They were used in Chevy trucks from early to mid 80s I believe.My goal was to improve my gas mileage a bit w/o having to change rear end gears.while it did get the revs down some, I still only get 10-11 mpg.
