You trying to figure diameter in inches or feet? I am thinking feet.

If you want to do it in inches, use this formula.

(MPH * 63360)/(3.14*D*60)

I plugged it into excel, and a 35" tire at 2150rpm and 60mph get you a wheel RPM of 576.52 and a 3.73 axle ratio.

Yes, feet.... Sorry, I assumed someone in College would be able to figure this out. But then again I would assume someone in college would not ask the question of how to figure a ratio out.... My mistake

Of course the entire thing probably will not work, since I do not think HP's tird runs.

That's what you get for ass.u.ming.

You have to know your ratio already for that one to work with out going through and guessing till you get it in the ball park.

turns out my transmission is fine. The vacuum tube came off from the carb so it wasn't downshifting and when it did shift it slipped.

cheap fix FTW!

false, that and the kickdown lever tell it when to downshift.

I noticed it was off when I took off a cutout in my exhaust to put some collector gaskets on it. I drove to the gas station like that and all I can say is that my truck without a muffler is annoying loud, perfect for alto

Your measly 351 is no match for my muffler-less 400!!

Cut it at the headers, then cruise college station for 6 months, then you have "The Jerry Bronco"

I've got some shackles that I bought a while back at a little tool store next to a tax office in san antonio. They don't have any markings except 3/4 on the side which is the size. Think these are good enough for trail use or should I get some better ones?

[AggieTJ2007]

they will be good enough for trail use

[Seth]

yeah, 3/4 is pretty decent size. lots of folks use smaller. not to mention safety factor

[AggieTJ2007]

any ideas for keeping the PCV valve from dumping oil into the intake and hydrolocking the engine.

Also where can I get those little expandable billow thingies for my power steering. Stupid PSC reservoir leaks when on its side
