Re: Saginaw 3 Speed Manual W/OD
My experience with these Saginaw O/Ds is with putting one in a friend's little '54 pickup. Truck has stock running gear. He didn't like the freewheel nature of the overdrive when he let off. She seemed to speed up. We pulled that,put a full-synchro '72 truck 3spd in along with the 3.08 rear from the same truck and that '54 gets on down the road just fine now.
I dig those 3spd/overdrive set-ups,though. I had a '61 Studebaker SWB with one behind the 259 V8. I remember really liking that set-up.
