33 IMP is right on the money, I changed from 3.23 to 3.55's cuz cuz I always thought that it was a better street gear.... Wasn't worth the effort, it was barely noticeable on the street. I'd go for 3.90's or more.
3.90 vs 3.73 gears

Did anybody even ask what rear-end you have? I guess we all assumed an 8 3/4?
Beware! There is a version of pumpkin style rear that was used in light duty (Slant six) applications that used a 8 3/4 housing but had an 8 1/4 carrier. I think they were used earlier than your 67, but I'm not sure. Of course, 8 3/4 gears won't work without changing the carrier.
This is NOT the same as the later 8 1/4,with the removable rear cover. Them both being 8 1/4 causes confusion.
To my knowledge, there are no gears available for a pumpkin style 8 1/4.

If you still have the 2500 stall converter, I'd go with the 3.90 rear.

with the springs on the governor , the thing is have to remove a section of the exhaust to do it.

I bought the preform tool , the instructions are so bad , and the pictures illustrating are awful, you'd think in this day in age they would have at least a better picture on the web site. Nope is an even worse copy of the one they supply .
