Overdrive tranny in an A-body

[jbc426]

To each his own. There is more than one way to put overdrive in these old cars. In the end, Viv la difference.

Let's all drive down our cars to Willow Springs in April for Spring Fling and race at the noon drag race. That's the beauty of overdrive. It makes trips like that more enjoyable.

Fact is GM went with the Allison trans for their big diesels, but Chrysler stuck with the 727 and just added an overdrive. I trust GM to know their own limitations.
