Thanks, Jim. I'll start downshifting at 48-50. I was concerned about keeping the engine below 4k but it sounds like it's turning less than 3500 at 50.
A 3:70 is on the list but Jim K. is spending a bunch of my money this week on new front wheel bearings, new fuel lines, an A/C compressor and a list of other expensive stuff. Maybe next year.

Darryl,
Don't spend much, get one of these from EvilBay (290606353066). It sure is nothing like the Tach-Vac (I would love to have), but for 26$us and about an half an hour you have a working and reliable tachometer.
Then, when you get through with the other stuff - get the Tach-Vac.
Matt - maybe never be though with the other stuff.
