Why Overdrive? 120-130 1967

That engine will run flat out for years. Overdrive just makes the driver feel better, the engine will not care. I don't think fuel mileage is improved all that much, because at the speeds everyone is bragging about, wind resistance is the biggest factor. It's a brick after all.
