Just Wondering
I've been messing around with Model T's off and on for over 50 years. I never got asked these questions till the other day, maybe somebody knows the answer. What does a stock 1926 coupe weigh? And with a standard rearend, what is the engine RPM at normal crusing speed 25-35 MPH. Thanks

Re: Just Wondering
I believe standard rear gearing works out to 5 mph per 200 rpm.
10 mph at 400 rpm, 30 mph at 1,200 rpm and so on.
10 mph at 400 rpm, 30 mph at 1,200 rpm and so on.

Re: Just Wondering
According to the MTFCA encyclopedia, a 1926 coupe had a shipping weight of 1860 lbs, with starter and 21” wheels. Good guess, George.
