Post by blgitn »

Have you guys seen this yet? it looks too big for an A; maybe its for an AA. Does anybody recognize it?

It's a Borg-Warner overdrive adapted for a Model A.

Bob,

Can you tell what model it is?
Do you think it's heavy-duty enough for an AA?

I think that is a R10 overdrive unit, they used them in V8 cars so I would think
it would be OK in a AA. This link explains a little about the OD in an A.
