Sorry about the reduction in the allowed picture size but cost of space storage has driven the change to restrict size to 800 X 600 / 150K

Hi Tim – saw your other post on your rear gears. Yes, I agree 3.70s ideal with your setup to start (I used 3.63s, going to try something new this year 3.40s). A clubmember running a ford banjo rear tried 4.44, 4.10 and 3.78 with spool and c4. 3.78 combo for him works well. Enjoyed seeing your pictures. You know the old rule about tools, more important knowing how to use them properly. Hope all else going smoothly at CDR : ) Alan
