also, most diplomats/5th ave's typically have 2.24 rear gears...the 2.45 are a little more rare, mainly in cop cars (2.94 available in cop cars, too).
my 5th ave with it's original 318, 2.24 rear and low gear lockup 904 hit 2000 RPM at 75mph, and it was fine for cuising above 55mph....
when I put the 360/XE262, it pulled fine, was a little crabby below 55mph in top gear due to the low revs...
