Default Re: Whats your max comfortable driving speed

Sedan- Inserted stock motor from Skokie. Zenith carb, FS ignition, & high comp head: about 55 mph. Getting an overdrive next week so will probably be more like 65 after that. Stock shocks, but will soon get modern tube shocks from Ken Davis. Has 19 rims, but has BF Goodrich Silvertown edition tires size 550- they are taller & wider than normal model a tires (and cheaper). Mechanical brakes. Pressurized radiator.

Coupe- Stock babbit motor, Weber downdraft, FS ignition & 4 speed overdrive: 70+ mph all day long. Stock tires & shocks. Does have hydraulic brakes.
