Rear is 3.78. Compression is an even 90psi across all 8 cylinders. Low-ish compression, but the local flathead guys thought it was decent...
Also, i’m running 6.50x 16’s. I’m aware that a 6.00x 16 would help the situation slightly.
Car will currently do between 60-65 on the freeway, so like I said, I really can’t complain. Anyway, gonna slap a new Walker radiator in it next week and hit some hills.
It could just be that I just need more experience with it.
