Wow - what I type is not exactly what comes out on the Digest! Hyphens
and quotation marks do not seem to make it. My TR3A is a 1959, and the
KPH speedometer says 740 on the dial.

Jacked up my '59 TR3A (none OD) and turned the drive shaft ten times to
double check my rear end ratio and sure enough, it's 3.7:1. (Also have
a
spare rear end, which I haven't checked, but was told was 4.1.) The
interesting thing is that I have a KPH speedometer ("740") and left hand
drive. 740 would be about correct for a 3.7 rear end. PO bought the
car
in 1973, and PPO didn't know how it came with the KPH speedo. Must have
been imported originally to Canada? It's fun to drive around with the
speedo registering 100 or more - just wish the engine was turning a
little slower!
