[FC] Preferred 4spd and diffy gear ratio.

[John Luscinski]

Hi All:

I know that most of you are FC lovers. I have a 63
with a 110hp and I did happen to do a clutch job and
wanted to know what the preffered gear ratio would be
a on FC. I dont know what my ratio is. I am not sure
if the diff is the right one either. What would I look
for.

Thanks
