Hi All,
I have a 1972 142S with a standard 4 speed gearbox , I have been toying with the idea of switching to a 4 speed with overdrive, my questions are,

Is it worth it in terms of Fuel economy?

Is it that much easier on the engine because of reduced RPM's

So whats the general feeling among all you guys who have much more experiance than I do??
Cheers,
Dave
