Rear end ratios

2004-02-02 by Don Lattimer

Maybe I'm missing something here but I have a 3.77:1 ratio and also the
4-speed with overdrive behind an Essex V6.  At 65MPH I'm turning approx
33-3500RPM.  No trouble getting up and over 100MPH+.  My tires are 24.1 inch
in diameter.  Gas mileage in the mid 20s'.

I'm assuming those who are going to a taller gear don't have overdrive??
It makes a big difference.

Will the more knowledgeable folks please enlighten me ?   Thanks.
