John,
A "0.7 Overdrive in fourth"? What kind of gearbox is that, anyway? Most
gearboxes are "direct drive" (1:1) in top gear. To my knowledge, only "overdrive
transmissions" have a lower number in high, but the gear before that is still
normally 1:1. Since the Ford "Top-Loader" is a 4 speed, with a 1:1 fourth,
you've got something really unusual there with 0.7 4th. Even 0.7 is an unusual
"number", as the usual is 0.8, or 0.63 (or something close to it).
What did you build?
Steve
