Dan, Mine did about the same and I was wondering what I did wrong. I wonder if it has anything to do with an open differential.     Brian Zack '70 Chevelle Malibu mailto:brianz@dpsabq.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2003 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] rear axle ratio??   In a message dated 7/22/2003 5:48:25 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Thanks.. I tried that, and the driveshaft only spun 1.75 times to make a complete tire revolution..   Could this be right??   Thanks   Dan McIntosh Nope, Chevrolet never offered a gear ratio that low.  They started around 2.56 I think.  The most popular ratios are 2.73, 3.08, 3.23, 3.31, 3.55, 3.73 Tom
