I beg your forgiveness O'Exhaulted One.Jeez louise, we prefer Search Fascist!
Took my M35A2 out for a ride and my top speed on stock 9.00 is about 50 mph and that is on a flat and to the floor. Is that normal? Wonder if I am starving for fuel? Thanks
That's exactly what I do! Engine sounds happy and fuel economy is better. At 2600 the engine is SCREAMING and MPGs plummet. The way I figure, deuces aren't made to go fast. If I want to go fast I have muscle cars for that.To me TOP SPEED is whatever the speedo reads at 2200 RPM tires whatever makes NO difference 2200 RPMs is top speed!

To answer what I believe is the intent of your question, no... If you are on a flat and in top gear, it should easily pull to redline. I know from driving others that mine is an exception making good power, low egt's, and blowing little smoke but yours should not be to the floor on level ground. "Tanner" has the pedal to the floor to get moving or on long grades, but never when sustaining a speed. 50-55 on a flat is just over half of pedal travel and will pull slight grades in top gear on the floor with no loss in speed. I have some long grade hills in my area and I rarely need to downshift to climb, "Tanner" will crest them doing the posted speed of 35mph in 4th gear with egt's around 1000F (pedal on the floor of course)Took my M35A2 out for a ride and my top speed on stock 9.00 is about 50 mph and that is on a flat and to the floor.

Hmm, the O P must have a tan Deuce, the green ones are faster...
The sad thing is my deuce will stop quicker from 50 than either one of my Land Rovers......My deuce has a dash plate that reads "MAX SPEED 48MPH". If you search I a bit you'll also find that the deuce wasn't really designed to brake from 50-0 often as well and especially wasn't designed to do it quickly. Go slow and look awesome.
Have you changed your fuel filters lately?Took my M35A2 out for a ride and my top speed on stock 9.00 is about 50 mph and that is on a flat and to the floor. Is that normal? Wonder if I am starving for fuel?Thanks
And, do not forget the biological crap that grows there. I use a bio-killer from Autozone to clean it up. Yuk!Yeah mine acts this way when my filters start to get plugged. I pulled the fuel pump and cleaned out as much crap as I could by hand with rags and tank cleaner and it helped a whole lot. You may be surprised at how much rusty crap is sloshing around in the bottom of your tank.
