Because I was the original post on this topic, thought I'd follow up.
First, many thanks for the observations on overdrive vs. hi-ratio
t-boxes. My '73 NAS SIII is dead stock - 2.25 petrol, 15 inch wheels,
leaded head and 18,800 original miles. All smog equipment is intact, as
is the Zenith carb, and true to original test drives, it IS a bit
"sluggish" - more so than, say the average SII. I don't have plans to
"hop it up." It resides in fairly hilly country - Manchester Vermont,
where it is infrequently used.
Judging by the comments, especially TerryAnn's remarks, I'm inclined to
go for the Roverdrive for those times I want to drive it on the
interstate. I still am unclear, however, whether the installation would
involve any cutting or drilling of the truck (e.g. transmission tunnel)
to accomodate the lever to engage the overdrive. Where does it sprout
from?
