A  102 or 80 probably needs an even lower first gear (14:1) so that leads  you
to "A" or "D", the factory combinations. 

If you install a  particularly high-torque engine (ideal), such as a 164/95
or an FC 110 (110  with a 95 cam), "B" is still fine but "C" would provide
higher mpg and  quieter and faster cruise.

I'd go with "B", 3.55/3.65

Craig,
 
I have a '64 95HP Greenbrier 4spd.  Does your comment about the  factory 
combinations mean that the diff ratio determined what ratio first gear  had?  I 
have a rebuilt posi 3.55 in the 'Brier now, but the original diff  was a 
3.27--it required "stirring" in the mountains, but gave great cruising  speeds with 
less thrashing.  At some time I want to go back to the original  diff, when it 
is rebuilt, so I'm archiving your chart for future  reference.
 
Thanks,
