This past week I finished wiring the J-Type OD I installed in my 69. I
couldn't wait any longer, so Thursday evening with a few minutes of daylight
remaining, I bolted the driver's seat in with two bolts and sans a seat belt I
ventured out onto our local back road for a test drive. I was just amazed all
the gears actually worked, let alone the OD. I must say, it was a long
one-second wait when I hit the OD lever. What a sweet feeling. I'm sure I
was grinning ear to ear. It's amazing how much heat comes up through the
opening around the gearbox. Felt pretty nice on a cool evening, but in the
summer that would be brutal. I made sure I kept my body parts away from the
whizzing u-joint; what a knuckle trimmer that would be.
