71' 145 strange problems... 140-160

That's what the 71 green book says..
Full throttle 3-2 is 59 mph [on a grade]
This one is harder to test.
Remember the auto's are cranking @4K at 60-65
And they only get @20 mpg.
But they sure are nice in traffic. [I passed thru Portland at the wrong time of day, on the way down from
Bellingham,creepin along, just like here]
They may spin out and stop pulling shifting late.
When running different wheel diameters,the kick down
cable also allows tuning even thou the speedo is off.
Sure am glad you got her running!
Ken
