Overdrive is a beautiful thing.
Please also be aware that Texas has 80 and 85 mph speed limits on highways at various places in the state. I wasn't breaking the law.

Ron - truer words were never spoken. My avatar: 59ab, Charlie’s crab distributor, 12 volts, newer alt inside old generator housing, newer sealed bearing water pumps, 5-speed - been across the country 3-times with many hours of sustained speeds at 75-85 mph at 25-2800 rpm. Engine ran and still runs like a champ!

I have driven my '50 Ford from WV to California twice, been all 48 states and Canada, over 50,000 miles, since 2010. It set in a garage from 1972 'till 1998 before I bought it
