Nice work!
I ended up putting the MSD controller box behind the drivers kick panel, made a little panel for the lights below the dash, mounted a toggle off to the left side below the dash to enable the “auto” feature, made a bracket out of aluminum strap to hold the speedo cable at the crossmember & had a new speedometer cable made to go right to the speed sensor without any slop.
It all worked out well & is nice cruising along with the other traffic & not feeling like I am going to be rear ended @ 55mph on the highway.
One thing that is surprising is the firmness it shifts, if it were a warm summer day, shifting from 1st to 1st over, I think it would probably give a little chirp of the tires when hard on the throttle. It’s not just a wimpy feeling OD engagement like an old 80’s 700r4.

Nice job, great pics !! Would be useful to those wondering about the same switch. I went the othe way and put 30" tires/3;73 gears in my fish.
RPM is about the same at 3000 on the hiway.
That’s one way to do it, your setup is the same ratio as 3.23 w/26” tires which is essentially what it had & that didn’t work for my XE274 cam coming out of the hole hard.
Hey grancuda! About how much did gear vendor overdrive set you back?I ended up putting the MSD controller box behind the drivers kick panel, made a little panel for the lights below the dash, mounted a toggle off to the left side below the dash to enable the “auto” feature, made a bracket out of aluminum strap to hold the speedo cable at the crossmember & had a new speedometer cable made to go right to the speed sensor without any slop.
