Okay, with a 1946 4 dr sedan with the 245 ci six in it. If I installed overdrive could I use the original differential or would it make it to underpowered. I see the conventional 3 spd uses a 4.30 ratio and the overdrive equipped cars used a 4.55 ratio.

You will have 4.3/4.55=.95 , or 95% of the torque you would have with the OD specified axle. Find something else to worry about.

How about worrying about stopping the car! Are you still having issues with the brakes?

No issues with the brakes, just need to replace/rebuild the wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Run new lines and flex hoses.
I was just looking to see if anyone had a source for aftermarket wheel and master cylinders.
