Hey guys, I haven't been on here much lately but I have a little update on my P 20. Several months ago I bought an overdrive tranny from Lou Earle that he had for years and decided to install it yesterday. I finished it up this morning after doing some other maintenance, grease, tailpipe hanger, etc. I was really surprised when I left my subdivision because the car was moving through 1st and 2nd gears with not a sound from the tranny. It has no gear whine at all. The P 15 that I used to have that I put overdrive in as well, was very good, but not as quiet as this one. I put 90 wt. oil in it for now but after 500 miles or so I will change to a synthetic, same as what the P 15 had. I took my wife for a ride in it when she got home from work and the first thing she said after I put it in OD was "honey we can go on trips with this now, right". My reply was, anywhere you want !! We plan on going to Toronto next September with it to visit some friends. This car drives as good as it did back in 1950 in my estimation, maybe better now with overdrive. I will have to call George Ashe and tell him I'm back with Plymouths now. The Hudsons just sit in the garage. Sorry for the long post, but I'm too exicted not to share.
Maybe I'll surprise ole Don and just show up at his door for coffee one day.
