Default Re: 1968 Chevelle L79 Numbers Match

Wow! F-40 suspension, HD Clutch, Rally Wheels, Sport Steering Wheel, and an M-21. That car was ordered with some neat options! What does puzzle me though is the close ratio 2.20 First gear Muncie coupled to a 3.31 rear gear. That calculates out to an extremely high 7.28 'launch' ratio. Being ordered with 3.31 rear, the wide ratio 2.5 First Muncie would have been a much better choice and I'm actually surprised that they even built it with an M-21. Great car and having been the previous owner of a '68 L-79 Nova, I love these things. Great purchase!
