The year is 1957...very few interstates (if any) or divided highways with easy and safe opportunities to pass. Ours was a nation of two lane blacktop with - - - - - or_________, to pass Dad tromped on the go faster pedal and she'd kick down from OD to the 'passing gear'. I have my OD on a switch conveniently located on the dash so that I have all the usefulness of the kick down without it's limitations. A Bosch relay, some wire, I doubt if I have $10 in materials. The most important move I made is using the governor, I didn't in my 'old od' so that I could split the gears and get 6 forward gears, with the governor and my '69 od I have 5 forward gears.

Rocinante, like Don Quixote, he is awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.
