that and a half dozen small boxes in the big box. Need to get a new driveshaft when done. That replaces the tailshaft.

[MrQuadratic]

Very cool, and which car is it going on?

That one looked like it was for a 4 wheel drive.

You gonna put a lower rear gear in it?

I have a 355:1 gear in it now & at 75 I'm at about 3400 Rpm with 255/60-15. The overdrive will let me cruise at 75 at about 2500 and run much cooler.

33" tires will do about the same thing Too bad they didn't have OD transmissions during those years. Heck, lots of cars came with OD's in the 50's.

33" tires will not come close to fittin in the stock wheel wells of my. Magnum, and would kill my. acceleration from a stop.

Was figuratively speaking.....

The Gear Vendor Overdrive unit is on the transmission.










The master power switch is mounted in the console as is a USB port and 12V outlet for Bluetooth my Amazon Music and Sirus from my iPhone. The LEDs and the enable/disable switch for the overdrive are mounted on the console plate.


Plans are to change out those screws with something more appropriate.



I’m waiting on the driveshaft from Victory and I’ll have to modify the exhaust system as the overdrive interfere with the cross-pipe and need to make it curve away from the solenoid on the overdrive.

[Cranky]

Still waiting?

The Gear Vendors overdrive is in the car, just waiting for the Driveshaft from Victory. It arrived yesterday, and that car should be back on the road next week.
