Yes, It's a 5 speed box.

The Previous owner also refered to a "Hwy Diff",
I'm assuming he was refering to a 3.36 diff....

when my mates n' I were kids we'd raid HR auto diff centre's for the 3.36's.
Don't know why people would say HR's were good for nothing ! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Sounds like you're on a winner then, 5 speed and possibly 3:36's should eat up the open road. :thumbsup:
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

You guys are doing well.
i just did a trip from North of Perth to Dunborough 270km ish. the roads pretty much flat the whole way, i got to Bunbury non stop and the fuel gauge was looking a little sad so i topped it back up think it took 31 ltrs to 200km so average 15.5 ltr per 100. the speed varied from 92kph to 102kph. We had two away bags 2 cartons of grog and few other bits n bobs

I had a HX sedan, 202 Trmatic with 3.36:1 diff ratio. All standard including tyres.
I started with 16 miles per gallon. I then changed my driving style and got 26 miles per gallon.
I was still leaving other cars behind me without speeding or thrashing the car.

Reminds me of when we went to Narrandera Nats in 2010 , we were travelling with a mob of SA club members and one bloke ran out of fuel halfway there in a stock EK - he was saying he normally gets 6-700 kays out of a tank :roll: I asked him if he had a long range tank and he said no its a standard one ...... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.
