new to sight

hi everybody,
well i took the plunge and just bought a 1977 highboy on e-bay last weekend,i'm 2 months from getting home from Iraq,so i sent my fiancee to pick it up for me( i'm sure she was impressed!) i think i got a pretty good deal on it(2500.00)its e-bay item # 4578265814. what do you guys think? also the guy says it has 4.56 gears in it,was that ratio offered in '77? anyways,i love this sight and look forward to tearing into my new project when i get home!
