fox car rules for gears....
5spd: 3.73
auto: 4:10

with that being a vert I'd get your chassis upgraded first. Unless you wanna see your car do a lil twistin. Cause over time it will... whether your doing donuts or not.

I am planning on doing the chassis when i do the shocks, breaks and busshings, all at once. Gears will be towards the end of summer.

Thanks,
Matt

3.73 gears for sure over 3.55s.

Why can't you recharge with R134A. I've done it before on a freon system, you just change some fittings. Don't worry about changing anything else over, the R134A will work fine.

373's!

Freon is a brand not a gas or liquid.

Just need a R134 Retro kit with the fittings. Ya really need to recover and pull a vac down on it.

this is all opinion its all what your gonna do with the car if its never gonna really see the track or only once in a while yeah go with the 373 but i love my 4.10 i almost never used overdrive with my stock gears now i can actually put it to use. but i am going about 55 at 2k in 5th gear. which is perfect for me.

Actually freon is dichlorodifluoromethane. Freon (R) (capitalized with a trademark) is Duponts trade name for refrigerants (freon in common usage = Freon (R)-12).

Freon is like the bondo name. Widely accepted terminology in the refrigeration field and liberally applied to all refrigerants R-22, R-12, R-401 R-134A etc. Any hum can by 134A because it is non-ozone depleting due to it's lack of chlorine and not regulated under current EPA refrigeration certifications. Retrofiting is easy and while the efficiency drops off in an R-12 system, it is still acceptable. Eventually you will have a compressor failure due to contamination issues (acidity due to incompatable oils) even with a total flush and oil change out, but no big deal. Compressors are a dime a dozen.
