Re: [HSS] 1929 Hudson Speed ?

Ron, you need to check the rear end ratio. The standard ratio is 4.45:1,

which was fitted to long wheelbase models and standard sedans. The 4.09

ratio is fitted to coupes, roadsters and phaetons, and will swap directly

with the others. I have been running the high ratio one in my '29 Hudson 7

pass. sd. since 1971, and have had no problems with the performance, and

usually cruise around 50 - 55 m.p.h. with no problems, without the engine

sounding like it's revving high. Unfortunately my high geared diff has now

come to a halt with 2 broken teeth, so I am looking for another one. If I

have to I will fit the standard ratio, but am reluctant to do so as driving

with the higher ratio is that much more easy. Perhaps we should be

keeping this quiet, as everyone will be looking for a high ratio diff now,

and I'll miss out!!! Best wishes,

Geoff.
