This isn't directly related but when I built the Pacer I put a V8 AMC 20 rear end in it, 8 7/8 ring gear. Thinking putting the original 6 cylinder rear end in it would pick it up, I put together an AMC 15 (Dana 35) with the 7 9/16 ring gear. Results were I didn't see any improvement in the et. I haven't broken the Dana 35 but I didn't see any gain. Same ratio in both cases.
