I've got a 72 318 in my W200. I just put a tach in and it's reading about 2600 rpm at 55, 2800 at 60 and about 3000 at 65. I'm still not positive, but I think I've got 4.10 gears in it. I also have 31 inch tires.
She sounds like she's really working hard. Am I going to blow this thing running at 3000 rpm? The engine has 92,000 miles on it and it's still pushing about 22 lbs of vacume pressure. What is "optimum" cruising rpm for the 318? What rpm should I set my red line at? Oh yea, it has the 727a tranny.
Any info/advice is greatly appreciated.
