Early Spridgets have 4.22 diff ratio. Later models have 3.9 and really
late Midgets have 3.77. 3.9 and 3.7 are highly sought after for the very
reason you mentioned. I've seen 3.9 and 3.7 diff chunks go for big bucks
on ebay.
>From mgexp.com:
"'78 ~ '80 Midgets came with 3.77 ratio (8/'77, from GAN6-200001), better
for highway use than the 3.9 used from 12/'68 ~ '77 (but the 3.77s are
rare, so more expensive). "58 ~ '68 (948 and 1098cc) used 4.22. The ratio
is stamped on the upper RH surface of the diff housing."
