Joe,

Thanks for the great information. You answered a lot of my questions. My torque tube has the gradual, consistant, taper over the entire length. I did jack up the rear end and cranked the engine over slowly (with the spark plugs removed to eliminate the compression) The gear ratio does appear to be very close to 4.11's.

I debating about installing the "High Speed" gears or an over drive in my Model A as it's been in the family since 1948 and I'm thinking I want to keep it as original as possible, which it now is. It does show very well and has won some awards.

This may be a good time to rebuild another "high speed" Model A with an overdrive. Again, thanks for the great information I appreciate it.
