1972 Chevrolet El Camino Repair Question
Asked on February 23, 2009
1972 Chevy El Camino determinig final gear ratio
Drive Train Axles Bearings problem
1972 Chevy El Camino V8 Two Wheel Drive Manual 90k miles
Isn't there a quick way of determining gear ratio? I sort of remember having to rotate the drive wheel and at the same time count the rotation on the drive shaft? It's been awhile since my high school days. I think the el camino came with 3:73, but I want to reduce inorder to lower my rpms @ highway speed and still keep my Richmond T-10 4spd.
Thanks!

That's right rotate tire once count turns of shaft.
What RPMS does it turn at 60mph?
