Windshield wipers? This beast has one vacuum powered wiper motor and the arm stays in the glove box so it won’t get lost!
Heheh!
I’ll just watch it from the access door in the firewall!
Low gear on the TH 400 was 2.48
Low gear on the TH 700r4 is 3.06 so I “think” that probably helps to correct for the oversized tires. These gear ratios make my head spin so my thinking may be 180 degrees off!
Your initial advice about resurrecting the old Quadrajet is probably the first thing I’ll try. I really miss the distinctive sound of those secondaries kicking in!
The mileage is really not an issue for me If the performance level goes back up.
I’ll revisit the differential ratio situation after that issue is straightened out. I’m basically using it as a farm truck since I rarely take it camping any more. I usually pull a ‘47 Tour-ette teardrop or a 1965 Mobile Scout 13’ canned ham, both of which are easy to pull although the canned ham has more wind resistance.
I really do appreciate you sending me in the right direction Jerry, thanks much!
