[Healeys] Help with BT7 (new thread - I got bounced again!!!!!)

[jerry wall]

the 100/6 without OD had a 3.9 diff while the 3000 without OD had the
enviable 3.54 diff, however, with either of these combinations you still
needed an OD to have a pleasurable road car.  i've had all combinations and
take my word for it, you still need OD. period.
cheers,
jerry
