Can I assume you are in Washington?

Can you post some photos?

We've had several people looking recently.

Mike,

Does the five speed (T9) box have its original gearing, or is it replaced with a close ratio kit?

Where in WA are you located? By any chance is this Brian B's old car?

Thanks,
John

[MikeM]

As far as I know it's a close ration gear box, but I'm not certain of that.

I live in the San Juan Islands, but could get the car to the mainland if need be. Yes, it is Brian's car. I have a lot more info on it than I've put in the original post.

If its a semi helical close ratio box first gear is good to about 50 or 55 mph. If stock Sierra ratios it's good to about 25 at ~6000 rpm.

Semi helical is a bit noisier too.

[MikeM]

It's probably the original gear box. Thanks for the clarification.

Note: I've corrected the original entry. It's an Electromotive management system, not Wintec II.
