Default Re: Stock Restoration?

Hi John, my 1966 Chevelle had a 396 and when I got it...it had 3.08 gears. The car came with 3.73 gears in the trunk...so I installed them.

With the 3.08's it was a pleasure to drive on the highway (like going to Pavilions) but a bit slow off the line. With the 3.73's, it wound up a bit on the way to Pavilions, but was great off the line [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Here's not too long after the 3.73's were installed...and a complete rebuild and restore of the stock carb by Eric Jackson. Engine was completely stock...
