Hi Dae, Welcome to the group.Starting with the rear-end gear ratio is a good start. Give it a try and see how well it works.

I just purchased a 1965 Coronet 500 with 42K on it with a 361 v8. It has had an Edelbrock carb with correct dual exhaust installed on it. The engine runs pretty fair but I am wondering what I can do to get it closer to the performance of a 383. It has factory A/C so I am pretty sure the rear axle ratio is a 2.76 so I thought about going to a 3.23 that I have in my garage from a 67 Coronet. I want better low end torque but keeping the car still smooth to drive. Any thought I would appreciate it. The car is pretty original except for one repaint. Thanks again. Dave
