Van:
First of all, there are two types of O/D, A and J. A's are for early cars,
up to the CF series, J's after that. What you will need to covert your car
back to an O/D is the O/D itself and either a new transmission to accept
the O/D unit or a new mainshaft to install in your present gearbox. The
mainshaft is different for O/D and non-O/D fittings. Take heart in knowing
you will not have to change the wiring harness, unless a sharp-toothed
chicken has chewed through it. What I have always wondered is this: If a
chicken-and-a-half can lay an egg-and-a-half in a day-and-a-half, how long
will it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick the seeds out of a
dill pickle?
