Hi, AT box is too high geared for a 1641 you won't get into 4th till you are doing 50 mph. An AH box would be better it is 4.125 diff, yours is 4.375 and AT is 3.88. hope this helps.
I am in Derbyshire also , Ilkeston, where are you?

I'm running an AM box on a strong 1641 with twin Weber 36's. It's well matched to the engine and I don't get many problems with hills. It's all about getting the right gear for the hill.
