    I'm new here and was wondering how i find out what kind of gear ratio I have, I think i've posted a picture below that might help. This is for a 66 Dodge a100 with a 315 ( not original engine ). Appreciated.

    What you have is 3.55 gears in a 8-3/4" axle, with a 741 hogs head. The 2500 is the front axle. Since you have the 2500lb front axle, and not the 2200lb axle, you should have 11" drums up front.

    Do yourself a favor and ditch the rubber fuel hose and plastic filter. To many people on here have had engine fires due to those. Run metal line with a metal filter like factory.
