Thanks Rich. I saw Ted's email about those diffs, which got me thinking.
What I really need to know is what cars the higher rate diffs came in.
Around here, in Victoria BC, there are lots of old British cars. I figure I
just need to find out what the 4:1 and 4:3 came in. Your comments on the
TR3/4 with overdrive is a good start.
