If you are wondering on how to see what gears you have in the rear do this.

place the rear of the car on jack stands
have the car in neutral
mark the drive shaft and one of your rear tires
rotate the tire one revolution and count how many times your drive shaft rotates
2 3/4 times= 2.73
3 = 3.08
3 1/2 = 3.55
3 3/4 = 3.73
etc.

Auto or stick?
what size tire is on the rear??

Stock 5 speeds with stock gears should be at 2000 rpm at 70 mph.

Its a common thing that mexican's say when they mean to say I just got or I just did something. Not saying you are mexican OP but it is an assumption with what you said and you are from texas. I hear it all the time where I am at.

projectresto83 AND PRO50SC...I asked a simple question and it appears that you understood it. Im actually German, which isnt any of your business in the first place. I really enjoy this forum which is dedicated to best american muscle car ever built, the Ford Mustang. But its people like you who are truly ignorant and truly expose the lack of YOUR own level of education. I simply meant that i recently purchased a 1989 Lx 5.0.

Everyone else, thank your for your help.
