Hey Mike, I have the M18 2 cylinder Universal with a 2:1 ratio trans on my 1986 C27. Not sure what size 2 blade I have on there now but I was able to run my tach up to 3800 rpm (just briefly) so I think it must be underpitched. Still wanting to go the three blade option. I'll check out the Campell 3 blade. Where do you purchase them and how much? Thanks, Kevin
