I Have a Close Ratio Toploader 4-speed in my 67 rag-top. It has the small input shaft. I got it from a friend a few years ago as part of a trade.
I changes the stock 2.80 gears out for a set of 3.25s that I also aquired in the same trade. I am know kicking myself for letting go of the 3.55 gears (that I didn't think I would need)
The probem is that It is a real DOG in 1st gear! My engine has enough torque to be drivable, but I hate it!
I must know chase down a set of 3.55-3.80 gears.
Does anyone have an opinion about my best bet? I am leaning towards the 3.55 range again. I just don't want to be back here again lookin for 3.80s.
BTW if anyone has a good used set of 3.55-3.80 8" gears our there let me know. I would actually prefer a non-posi differential. Less hassle.
