53 Clipper and OD

Posted by Tall Steve On 2017/4/25 19:38:49

New to this board and new Clipper owner. 288 and 3 speed manual. I would like to install overdrive. Is that possible? If so, would it be better to seek parts car for this purpose. I want a driver that I can trust. Currently gets warm at 60 mph. At idle car is at 165 degrees or so. Seems to idle well and doesn't smoke. Compression check next. Need direction and suggestions on this sweet ride. Love to drive but clutch is engaged just before full pedal release. I can wrench a bit but haven't ever had a car like this one!

Pic below. Thanks y'all
