I have 3.50 gears, a c4 and an essentially stock 200. I also have the stock 13" wheels with the goofy hub caps. The only thing for performance that I've done so far is the addition of a pertronix II and flamethrower coil. At 80 miles an hour on the highway, I'm hitting 5000 rpm (installed a small tach on the steering column). The engine sounds fine... I just don't want to take it faster until I restore the suspension and brakes. I'm confident the engine can do more... it just can't breath with stock carb, exhaust and the stock '66 log head.

I checked the tach and it is set correctly. I also compared it to the one I hook up for tuneups (Sears/Craftsman tach adn dwell meter) and it checks. The transmission also goes into third. Is it my tires (13")?
