Bob,

I had this arrangement for about 30K miles.  The OD was built by ORS in England 
with the 128% OD and a 1 ?? accumulator.  With 165R15 Vredesteins 70 MPH was 
2,700 RPM.  Last year the OD started acting up.  This was my third attempt at 
getting a reliable OD so I put in the Healey 5 Speed.  The proper non-turbo 
Supra 5 speed has a 5th gear ratio of .783, which is precisely the same as the 
128% OD.  I now have the same high end gearing, but with a lot more 
reliability. If a car is to be driven a lot and for long tips, it is the way to 
go.

Anyone running this setup?  Pros?  Cons?
