Why would they show the Type 34 at a higher rpm than the Type 3? As far as I know, in the later years there were no mechanical differences between the Type 3 and 34, so why would their performance be different? How fast would a notch go at 4560 rpm? The Type 34 always got the most powerful Type 3 engine option for any given year, but never had any mechanical options that were not available throughout the range, AFAIK. > My 1970 book shows the 31 & 36 at 4250 rpm. And the 34 is not shown with > an automatic, only a manual trans. By that time they'd probably forgotten they'd ever produced a Type 34 with AT.
