[BFix] Gearing for Best Mileage

[NHieger at aol.com]

FWIW, I have 4:56's in my 77 5.0 sefi/AOD, 35" BFG's. Everything was pretty  
good when I was running 33's, but now that I am running 35's I kind of wish I  
had gone with 4:88's. I just seem to be a bit over geared when on long 
extended  climbs at freeway speeds & heading into strong winds. What I need is gear  
right between 3 & 4th. Having said that if I keep the speeds down (55 or  
less) I can get around 17 mph.

Thanks for the reply.  That sounds about right to me. 4.56 for 33 with OD and 
4.88 for 35 with OD.  I'm tempted to go with 4.88’s in the event that I end 
up with 35’s in the  future.
