MPH

[Dan Weaver]

250 horsepower, 71 MPH sounds about right. Probably 4.83:1
gearing. Some guys regear the rear to about 4:44:1, or 4:63:1.
Jeff Miller is the rear end gearing guru: http://www.wanderlodge.net/

If you can get into the archives search on "regear" and re-gear".

Vintage Birds has a history section with some specs on your Bird:
