I finally got the disc brake kit from Jim Turner and have the 62 Hawk up on jack stands. Today we dismantled and are installing tomorrow. On a dry day with no ice or snow, we took the Hawk out to try starting the FOM in L and manually moving through the gears. What a difference! While it was up, we checked the rear end as was suggested. It is a Dana 44 and tomorrow I'll pull the plug to see if it is a TT. The ratio on the tag is 3:31. How does this ratio fit into the general scheme of things with a 289 4bbl? There was quite a discussion regarding ratios and a 259 engine back in Dec. but I got lost following it. I believe this ratio favours economy over quickness or do I have it wrong. I just joined SDC International and the Ontario Chapter and look forward to getting involved in events. Thanks to Sonny and StudeBob for advice in getting me this far.
