Default Re: What is a "reasonable" speed in a Model A for one to get "reasonable" engine life

I have a 1930 Tudor and it is happy at 45-52 all day long. It will run up to 60 fairly easy, but you can tell it is unhappy spinning that fast. I plan to add an overdrive, but I plan to rebuild the brakes with new cast iron drums first. You need to be able to stop before you think about going fast.
