If my thinking is straight here, that is indicating you have around a 2:00
gear ratio??? Yea, I know that's not possible....hmmm.
I did the same test when I was buying my Chevelle that the guy said was a
4:10. It worked out. For every 4 times the driveshaft turned, my wheels
turned about once.
Or yea, could could pop off the rear end cover and count the number of teeth
on the pinion and ring gears, to come up with your ratio. I did that
eventually, and had 41 and 10.
