Agreed. Mine was quite scary above 70 MPH until I rebuild the suspension
systems and replaced bushings. However, I have slightly smaller diameter
wheels on my car than most B's, so 70-75 MPH was around 3500-3800 RPM, which
is OK, but it's much nicer with Overdrive. I've had my B to 95 MPH (Don't
try this at home) with overdrive and was pulling around 4,200 RPM.
Actually, the car felt very confident, but I decided my 30 year old
non-rebuilt engine had done enough.
