81 dash working again !



 Several members have changed the rear gear.  A 2:94 or 3:23 shouldn't make
to big of a difference.  You can expect to lose from 1-2 MPG depending on
how hard you drive the car.  Keep in mind if you do change gears you will
need to recalibrate your speedometer for it to read properly.
