It ain't never gonna end. I'll end up running a thermoquad before it's all said & done.

its simple...do you take off in low gear or take off in high? in a normal 4 speed 4th is 1-1 but first is way lower and has a higher # ratio

The catalog I quoted from was from 1974. I don't think they have or wish to sell any of that stuff. That was 30 years ago.

43 teeth & 7 teeth is certainly 6.14's. The #'s dont ring a bell. A damaged/howling set is no sweat on a circle burner because the open exhausts from 20 cars is deafening.
