While I was restoring the body on my BJ7 I had the rear gears changed to 3:54:1. Now that I'm driving the car alittle I am a bit disappointed in the crusing rpms that I am experiencing. I believe I was hoping for less RPMs at different crusing speeds but it has been so long since I drove the car that I don't remember what it was before the gear change. Can anyone concur with the engine speeds I am experiencing. I have to say these RPMs may not be exact because I didn't go out on the SuperSlab with the intent of recording this. I just remembered to look at it while running here and there.
- 50 mph, W/O Overdrive = 2700 rpms
- 50 mph, w/ Overdrive = 2200 rpms
- 60 mph, W/ Overdrive = 2700 rpms
- 67 mph ( i think, my speedo is fluxtuating alittle maybe as high as 70mph ) =w /overdrive,3000rpm
Thanks, Dave.
