Right angle speedometer drive on o/d gearbox

["Peter Schauss" <schauss@worldnet.att.net>]

I am in the final stages of installing an overdrive transmission in
my '80 MGB.  Can someone tell me how the right angle drive
should be oriented?   If I point it straight toward the front of
the car, it hits the back of the overdrive unit.  Pointing it in
any other direction does not seem to be any improvement
over connecting it directly.

The PO of this gearbox appears to have connected the cable
without the right angle drive.

Thanks,
