Re: Compression - is it important ?

Home away from home

Not a question, I was answering Packard V8. I simply use this hill as reference. If it slowed to say 35 mph then I know there is a problem, 40 mph at the top is good for this hill and this car which is a 633 sedan with a non standard 4.3 : 1 diff.

I also have a brass era veteran that struggles to hold top gear and slows to about 10 mph on thee same hill.
