A-999 Swap and Information

Low gear set ratio is 2.74:1.

Think about it - 1980's or so Dippy/Fury/Fifth Ave. must weight about 4,000lbs plus. Probably has a 318 with about 95 horsepower and an open rear diff. ratio of about 2.76. Needs all the help it can get in the torque multiplication department!

I am sure you're correct about the 1st gear ratio.

I really HATE it when an "instructional, textbook-style article" is wrong about something like this. Don't these people ever proofread what they write?

That 2.54 jumped out at me as soon as I saw it... and, I'm a low-grade moron. They need to be more careful....
