Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / October 2006Another rear end question
Anyone with a Lark VI with 3sp/OD - what rear ratio are you running?  SignatureRemove the studebaker to email. The only label that fits: http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_6966.shtml "Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908 1953 Starlight Coupe 1954 Starlight Coupe R1/4-speed 1958 Silver Hawk 1960 Frua Italia Larks (2 - they're here!) 1962 Lark VI 1962 Lark Convertible 1963 Avanti R2 R4324 1963 Lark Cruiser (R2 3/4 clone in progress) 1963 GT Hawk 1963 Daytona Wagonaire 1964 Cruiser (Survivor) 1954 3R11 1956 2E7 2004 Porsche Carrera 4S 2000 Ducati 748 2002 Jeep Overland http://homepage.mac.com/pdrnec/PhotoAlbum81.html 4:27 rear end in my (okay, my Wife's) 62 Daytona convertible . Dan Kay > Anyone with a Lark VI with 3sp/OD - what rear ratio are you running? 4:11 rear end in my 61 2dr Wagon. Not much for low end power but gets around 22 mpg. Nick Pat, I saw a chart about 2 years ago that listed a 3.07 as being available for the six with a 3sp/OD. If you take the diff ratio and multiply it time 0.7 you will get the final drive ratio. I have a 3.07 Dana 44 in my 61 with the automatic and it doesn't shot off the line like it did with the 3.73, but it really sings on the highway. I took a trip to Austin Tx from Houston about 18 months ago and got about 24 to 25 mpg, which suprised me until I repeated it on the return trip. Now if I can just figure out why it starts in second gear instead of first. Paul V > Anyone with a Lark VI with 3sp/OD - what rear ratio are you running? They all start in second gear except for six cylinders... You can get a 1st gear start valve body (as appeared in the very first Flight-O-Matics in 1956) from SASCO. Dennis seems to keep "finding" a few more... BTW, I used to get a regular 25 mpg on my old Lark 259 with a 3.07.

I suspect a little piece of crap is caught in the governor as it only began to act up after I did a complete fluid change. It is annoying since I scrubbed everything including the fill tube before putting it all back together. > They all start in second gear except for six cylinders...
