5-speed

List,

It looks like I am going to do a second 5-speed conversion using Paul A's 
kit this time.  I've got a few questions about the choice of differential 
ratios 
and tire sizes.  I have a 1275 with no modifications.

Before I decided to install a 5-speed, I installed a 3.72:1 read differential 
from a '78 Midget.  I'm running 165 SR 13 ZX tires.  Is this combination 
going to work or should I drop down to a 3.9:1 differential?  I'm concerned 
that I won't be turning enough RPMs.

Also, does anyone have a Spridget gear shift lever for sale?

TIA
Paul
