Re: Rear-end gear ratios

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That reminds me, there is a "Rear end gear ratio finder -- pre digital!" method posted on the 62-65 Technical Tips and Links Web page. Similar to Herb's below but involves marking the driveshaft as well as the tires to count the wheel revolutions. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
