Paul,
Huh? Oh, I see; you're using final drive ratios. Had me goin' for a
minute there. ;^)
I saw Mike's comment before, didn't comment then. When I was playing
with my stage II `70 B, I was using the OD as a "rev extender" thru the
gears and as a "ratio splitter" on mountainous country roads. Some
trick to shift gears and flick the switch, too. ;^) I thought of
putting another switch on the gearshift lever but didn't want to mess
with the wiring. Sure wish I could find another OD to abuse. ;^) NOT!
These days I'm more inclined to just chug along and look at the
wildflowers.
