Excellent, and you still have oil in the engine! This is why I avoid going
over 120kph or 70mph, it starts to use too much oil and gas.... Time to
check your brakes now.... at the same speed to see if you go straight or
not.... just kidding, start at lower speeds first.
To estimate your speed a GPS is the easiest, otherwise the old method of
time and a known distance travelled using road markers..... Some of our
hiways are so long that they have speedometer check signs. Between Salt
Lake City and Wendover by the Nevada state line around Bonneville flats you
have a good 10 miles to check your speedo.... so send the wagoneer here and
we will be happy to check it for you.

JA JA, Michel, if I ever have the money to send the wag back to it's birth
country I'll go there myself and get all the parts that this junky vehicle
needs. In my country there are only a few of them, probably well below 100.
John,
my tires are 75 cm in diameter, so that's about 235cm in circumference. Say
I was at 100.000 mt per hour or 1666.7 mt per minute, divided by 2.35 and
multiplied by 4.27 (dif. ratio) makes 3028 RPMs.
I must have some minor measure error or misconception, I always believed
that the top speed of my engine were 2800rpm because of a limitation on the
oil injection pump, but that may not be true.
I'm trying to find more information on the Internet about the rpms
limitation but can't find anything yet, but I did found mentions to it's
noise, everyone complains about that.
What surprised me was that while I was about 80 Kmph I pressed the
accelerator and I felt the push in my back, well.... not really surprising
with a 4.27 transmission, isn't it?
I still have to measure the oil consumption, When I fill up the tank again
I'll make some numbers, I expect something around 9 or 10 km/l, less than 8
will be very disappointing, more than 11 and I'll be jumping. All this
based on my past experience with this kind of vehicles, not with Jeeps, but
I had 2 pick-ups, Studebakers, one from 1951 (BMC 2.2 litres engine and 5.1
or so dif. ratio) and the other from 1954 (another 4.203 Perkins engine).
Ernesto.
