  1. my 70 wildcat at bowling green best so far 13.008 but i know it has a 12 in it
  2. when i started i ran low 16's all stock 2.78 open rear(but did get up to 19 mpg on the interstate) the converter dropped me down to 15.4 a posi carrier and dist re curve got me down to low 15's a 1 inch 4 hole carb spacer a 175 degree thermostat and cool October temperatures got me to a 14.58 basically all stock for a rear you need to find a 67-70 riv GS (these all came with a 3.42 gears) you can take the carrier and gears out and install in your rear i found mine for 500 on ebay bought the the whole car and parted it out or build a custom ford 9 inch scott
