Hi again...I am still learning loads of stuff every day from so many of you. Thanks.
Now I'd like to ask about the rear differential in my 1966 S5. No OD.
I'd like to have rear end gears that are more "geared" to cruising than drag racing. The ratio now is 4.10 or so to 1. I'd like to have closer to 3.07 or 3.08 for better top end speed without the high revs. Even 3.3:1 would be an improvement. I'll take what I can get.
Where do I find the gear set? What tips can you share. I'd need to crawl under the Alpine and get numbers off of the unit but so many of you know this stuff right off the top of your head.
What markings do I look for on the original unit?
