>My Haynes book says the 50 HP 1600 achieves peak power at 4000 rpm, with >"maximum cruising speed" at 65 mph, which is 3900 rpm with the stock tires. >I can't remember where I saw 4400 rpm, The Bently has for the AE motor: 50 HP @ 4000 (DIN) and 60 HP @ 4400 (SAE). Who is DIN? Also, I had thought that Muir said in the famous book that the shift points are 15-30-50. It turns out that these all happen at 4400. I dunno.
