I don't remember doing that when my father had such a car as his daily
driver in the early 'seventies. His was the first model year that didn't
require oil to be mixed in with the gasoline.
No LBC, but that car had an unusual sort of transmission that somehow
managed to store momentum very efficiently so that the engine could run at
lower RPMs under certain conditions, a sort of rudimentary overdrive
concept. Does anyone know what that was called, and the basicis of how it
worked?
