The 1971 Chevrolet Nova with the 250 cid came optional with the Powerglide automatic transmission. The gear ratios on a OE Powerglide are 1.76 in 1st gear, 1.0 in 2nd, and 1.76 in reverse.
more than likely a 3.08 gear.
There are several. It depends on engine size, transmission, etc. For example, a V-8 car with "highway gears" would have 2.73:1 ratio for a turbohydramatic automatic transmission and a 3.08:1 ratio for a manual transmission. However, if the car came equipped with a close ratio 4 speed or powerglide, it would most likely NOT have a gear ratio numerically lower than 3.31:1 due to drivability issues. ... Especially with the close ratio 4 speed.
Wouldn't matter on the highway. The high gear ratio is 1:1 on both. The 350 has a lower first gear, which would be better for getting started. Especially in a heavy vehicle.
It's not. Call a GM dealership, tell them your VIN #, and they can tell you the gear ratio it came with from factory.
It should bury the speedometer depending on the gear ratio.
that all depended on the rear gear ratio of the car.
The gear ratio of a train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the velocity of the output gear. The gear ratio is very important when it comes to physics.
Incorrect gear ratio in first gear.Incorrect gear ratio in first gear.
These cars came with a 10 bolt, 8.5" ring gear and an optional 12 bolt 8.875" ring gear.
2.73
The ratio is the driven gear divided by the driver gear. This determines the gear ratio.
You will need to call the dealership and give them the tire size,differential gear ratio, and the type of transmission. From that information they can give you the correct gear.
