I can attest to how handy the Mitchell 2nd high is....really great for hilly or mountainous roads, where 2nd is a bit too low. But another really nice feature I enjoy more and more is just leisurely cruising at 45-50 in OD........many surface streets here are now at that speed, and it is just wonderful to cruise in OD at that speed.....very quiet and serene for a Model A. And my synchros are still working great after about 14 years now.
