Does anyone have a gear chart showing 210 vs ribcage ratios? I recently installed a 3.7 and i also have a 210 5-speed to install. If I remember, the 210 2nd is a bit taller, but 1,3 & 4 are similer in each trans. So adding the 5 speed will just give me similer ratios that i have now + a low 5th gear for those 70+ MPH trips down flat I5 in CA.

The Datsun is a little lower in 1st. 4th is exactly the same as the Mowog.(input shaft locked to output shaft).

That's only 5% error. Very few cars, in those days, were any better than that when they came from the factory. Neither are a lot today, even with all their super-duper electronics, for that matter.
 
losmorob: The 210 ratios,according to Daniel Stapletons book,are
1st:3.513
2nd:2.17
3rd:1.378
4th:1.00
5th:0.846
Happy touring, KA
 
Those ratios look correct. Notice the low second gear? Great for switchbacks in the hills!
