Hey Phil:
Can you tell me what all is involved in the installation of the manifold
pressure guage for your overdrive? I have an LH o/d in my '67 GT and
have always wanted an "indicator switch" of some sort to help me
remember whether o/d is on or not. You'll get old some day, jsut wait!!
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated!
Muchos gracias, senor!
