Hello all
I have a series v with a non-overdrive 4 speed synchro gearbox.
I was running an errand yesterday and jumped onto a faster speed roadway. While I always knew that there is a “too fast” for my car without OD, as my speedometer was reading about 55mph, I was wondering how long my car could safely ( safe for the car) maintain this blistering airspeed.
Questions:
1) what is a comfortable top speed for a near stock series v with a non synchro gearbox?
2) without risking damage, how long can I expect my car to maintain that top speed?
I was able to pass someone on horseback and was about to shut down a teenager on a bicycle.
✔️oil pressure was good
✔️no overheating
Be well all
