Thanks. Interesting historical context there (old timers wanting the familiar manuals, development of the ultramatic timing, etc). Explains some of it.

I guess I need to find someone with a manual that will let me drive it. Try it out. Time to bug my local club-mates!

I used to be a manual tranny guy, but in stop-n-go traffic of metro detroit, I admit I have grown weary of it these days. But I keep thinking I would get more umph out of a standard tranny Packard...

Thanks.
