I have the Saganaw gearbox with overdrive in my Elcamino. I love it! Full syncro, and over 20 mpg. On a 1600 mile cruise through Idaho, over the rockies, up into Montana, over the Rockies again, and back to the begining of the cruise my average for the trip turned out to be nearly 24mpg. At first I was flabergasted because the #s worked out to 22.96, but on a subsequent trip I did a DOT speedo check and found my odo was running 5% under. That would have put the mileage up into the 24mpg range. I bought the tranny from Tom Lowe. THANKS TOM!! Tom nearly talked me into puting the OD unit on the back of a Saginaw 4 gear, but I wanted to keep my columm shift.
There was only 2 times during that cruise I mentioned that I had to kick it out of overdrive to climb through a mountain pass.
