289 vs 318 ..... Ford vs Mopar

My friends 65 had that POS green dot valve body so you couldn't control the shift. That thing was a joke.
Cruise-O-matic. Yes, you CAN control the shifts. When racing, you start in "Low", hold it till you want to shift then upshift and it hits "2nd", then you pull it back to "Low" and hold 2nd as long as you wish before going back up into 3rd.
