I well my speedo doesn't work right now...but I know why.





Just wondering how fast 4700 rpms in 5th gear is with the stock 4.10 rear end.



Also about what gear and rpm is 50 mph.



Thanks.

5th at 4700 is prolly 90mph. Cause if I remember I do 80 at 3000. So give or take a few miles.



50 is 3rd at 3000. Been a while since I have driven my car so bare with me.

I mean like booking *** in 5th gear at 4700. I sure hope that's not 90.



Oh yea did you get your book back? I drove by and knocked on the door a couple of times and no answer but the dog was going crazy. So I just tossed the book in your driver's seat and chunked deuce.
