18G/18GA/18GB engines:
17.9mph (27.3kmph) per 1000 rpm standard top
22.3mph (35.5kph)  per 1000 rpm o/d top

GHN4/GHD4 on cars:
18mph (29kmph) per 1000 rpm standard top
22mph (35kmph) per 1000 rpm o/d top

If you're thinking of replacing try lubing.  Mine bounced in time with
the odometer turning.  Spot of oil on each end of the input shaft cured
it.
