RE: Overdrive into a 62 mopar

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug,
	There are a couple ways to go - Gear Vendors makes a unit that will
attach to a '66-up TorqueFlite and there is always the A-500/518.

 	The conversion does work with 1 cable, but with slightly increased
button effort - the original pushbutton setup uses a lightweight cable with
the moving parts submerged in nice warm transmission fluid, where the
conversion moves all the moving parts to the outside of the trans.

	You can also just use the parking brake and use R-N-D-2-1 without
modifying the button assembly.  They drove pushbutton TF's from '56-'61 and
just used the parking brake - no different than a stick car.

 Has anyone tried to put an automatic overdrive into our cars. I'm
considering doing this behind my 318 but would like to keep the pushbuttons.

  I know the button assembly can be modified but does it use 1 cable to work
the trans lever with the buttons/park lever or both.
