    The solar your speed is sign got charged up and went at it going 30,35 and 40 and it was right on,wanted to go through faster but its in a 35 zone and too much traffic today so next step is going down the highway and check the mile markers to see if the odometer is correct. If that checks out then time to find a small tach and see how fast the engine is spinning at highway speeds so I can dial in the next 235 to have its sweet spot in that RPM range.

    I do not know since I did not have to take it out,I think I am loosing the pressure plate so when it comes apart I will see what it has. I got lucky and with just removing that reducer box it was just what I needed.
