Gears
So my 68 has a 8 inch rear with what im guessing 2.73 gears I want to put new gears in for faster accel...now from what Ive learned from my 04 is put 4.10s in a auto but I think 4.10 might be a little large for a c4 w/o AOD...
what would you guys suggest?
I dont drive on the highway to much and I dont drag race regularly so I just want gears that will be good for driving around town and that have a little ass to them when needed ;)

Re: Gears
Well the 9" IIRC doesnt come in a 4.10:1 ratio. I believe it will come in a 4.11:1. As far what will work for you, it also depends on the tire height you are running now.
For starters a 3.70:1 to a 4.11:1 would be a good choice. I would think however you would get more out of a higher stall and say a 3.50:1 ring gear. Just my .02

Re: Gears
That will all depend on your goals as well. If you want to hook up or fry the tires off. With a 3.50:1 rear, and say a 26" tire I would go with a 2800+ stall. However if I were you I would call up a tranny company like TCI and see what they would suggest. You can match your converter with your cam, so you get the best results.

Re: Gears
once again another wall...I dont know what cam but I think I figured out a way to figure it out...judging off the fact I have a edelbrock carb, and a edelbrock intake so Im guessing that the cam came in a package deal that edelbrock sells...
I need to look into it cause I dont really want to go through pulling out the cam to figure out what it is :/
how much time do you think it would take to rip out the cam, figure out what cam it is, and replace it.
