NOW our 24 stud Flattie in the '36 Ford PU THAT is a different story it hums along at 55 w/o even working all that hard.

I totally agree. I drive mine at 40 max 45 and feel safe and have no fear of damaging the engine. If you want to drive 60-65 buy a hot rod. I don't know a soul that's impressed to see a 90 year old car driving excessive speeds. IMO
