Help with Gears...
Pardon for asking, not a mechanical guy.....I have an 83 Grand Prix, with stock 2.41 gears. I wish to change my gears, possibly to a 3.23 or 3.42 posi, but was told I couldnt because my car doesnt have overdrive. I was told that probably when on the highway, my car would be winding to all hell. this sound right to you guys? Should I just stick with a lower gearset? Thanx in advance....

I think a 323 gear would work fine... even for a 1.1 ratio tranny. You would have a noticable improvement in 0-100 times. It wouldnt be that bad on the highway without overdrive either. I think at 60 you would be turing around 2600 rpms with a 323 gear.
