<VV> gear ratio

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Fortunately, ALL Corvair transmissions have a 1:1 top gear.? 

However, as it has been pointed out, popping the top cover removes ALL doubt! And gaskets are cheap.

A nice idea that only works if nobody has changed the gears inside that 
case over the last 40-50 years.

I know I've changed some, and certainly don't recall which ones are in 
which case -- Dorai's is out and on the bench -- Count, & *Know*.

(or count engine revs vs an axle rev, knowing what your trans gears are ...)
