      I had 3.08 gears with a Wide ratio Muncie.

      I know she's going to scream more with the 3.73 than a 3.36 but may be a little more fun to drive.

      you'll be fine....I drove mine from VA to TX with the close ratio muncie and the 3.73s....RPM was obviously on the high side, about 3K at 75 mph but the Corvette Central exhaust with the MagnaFlow mufflers was amazingly compliant. Really smooth and mellow, even cruising at 3K for hours on end.

      I know it was a while ago, I was wanting to use a 69 steering wheel also, I bought one and noticed it does not sit flush on the boss like the original. How did you get it to fit and not make the horn honk?

      Did you have to bend the horn contact or shim it?

      Assuming your '69 wheel looks like this:

      You need a shim that looks like this:

      I got mine from a Corvette Forum member a few years back....Tom Shelby (Sky65). Dont know if he has any left, but if he doesnt, allegedly a standard plastic light switch cover from Home Depot is the exact thickness you need to make your own shim. I think Id be inclined to take some measurements, draw it up in CAD, and send the file to Send-Cut-Send and have them cut it out of the proper thickness of aluminum before I'd use the plastic light switch cover.
