Does anyone here know about a 26T-24T-18T-14T replacement Zephyr cluster gear made by Lempco Gear Co.? This cluster would use a 22T Ford 2nd gear instead of the 24T Zephyr 2nd gear we are accoustomed to seeing with most 26T Zephyr clusters. I know of one for sale and plan to look at it the end of the week. Thanks, Paul
 
I pulled that gearset out of a used trans that I bought... Second gear and third will be very close!!
cluster; 26-22-18, ratios: 1.0,1.57,231 (high,second,first)
cluster: 26-24-18 ratio: 1.0,1.31,2.31
cluster: 28-24-18 n ratio: 1.0,1.61,2.81
This to me means that at low speed, I would be using 1st gear a lot more- down shifting...
Some one told me these came from a 41 Lincoln... Karl
 
I was thinking the same thing, a very high 2nd, I ran the ratios also, 70mph in 2nd at about 3500rpm with 7.50 x 16 & 3.78 gears. Might be fun for awhile though not a good hill climber like we need here in CA.
