The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Max Speed of a Model A with 26% OD and HC Head

I have most of the modifications mentioned and have regularly taken long trips from weekends to a 7 week round trip, 40 state, jaunt some years back. With my antiquated but dependable 25% Borg Warner OD I drive all day every day at 1900-2000 RPM at 60-62 MPH per my GPS. How fast will it go? I don't know but it has drifted up to 74 MPH before I noticed and slowed down.

In reference to recent posts on wheel balance, I have used Dynabeads for several years with good results and all my Model As have front and rear anti sway bars.
