RPM's too high?

[Adrian Jones <AdrianJones@compuserve.com>]

Tom,
        If its any use, it says 3600 rpm when I'm going at 60 mph in my
1975 Midget.

highway speeds I'm wound up to about 3500 RPM, which seems (and sounds)
pretty high. Is this normal, or has the axle ratio been changed in my car=
?
If that's normal, are gears available to gear it up a bit? Pro's and Con'=
s
of doing so?
Thanks
