Hello. I'm new to the group, and new to Triumph. Rebuilt a Lotus
Europa about ten years ago, and swore of anymore British toys,
but...
Anyway, I just got a 1970 GT6+ that has no overdrive. The tires
are 175/70SR13 instead of the roiginal 155R13. I'm assuming
that's the reason why at 55 MPH the speedo reads 70 and the
tach is hanging at over 4,000 RPM begging me to chill out. Am
I right? The diff. and tranny have been rebuilt, and I'm
also assuming the same ratios were put back in, but can't
be sure.
Watcha all think...go to higher tires, buy an overdrive tranny,
...what's your experience.
Thanks in advance,
ken
