There is a small bit of rust in the rear of the rear wheel tubs which would be easy to fix if you chose to and is the only thing that would be visible without getting under it. This car is a real head turner and would be great if someone wanted a car they could use regularly. There are four speakers in the car two up front and two in the rear. The stereo works great and contains a cd player. All of these things let you monitor that the car is working perfectly. A working tach is also mounted to the above left hand of the dashboard. The engine temp has been moved to a set of three gages under the radio including oil pressure and battery voltage. ![]() On the dash the ribbon speedometer and fuel gage work great. The light above the switch will illuminate letting you know the overdrive is active and to downshift you just hit the button again.

I drive this car on the interstate quite often and with the overdrive it has no trouble doing so. With the overdrive this car is a great highway cruiser with the addition of great MPGs. We have been building Model T & A Overdrives for over 10 years.This is a 1967 Volvo Amazon 122S Wagon with laycock overdrive. The overdrive is $1850.00 with a usable torque tube & drive shaft in exchange. They all come with a push pull switch that goes on the gear shift & a reverse lockout switch that goes on the transmission to prevent backing up with the overdrive engaged. Mickey Gustafson - Mick & Rich in Bakersfield, CA make an excellent unit for the Model A and the Model T. He does or did Volvo units that are a bolt in for the Model A's. It can sheer or break if it has some kind of bolt or pin. The drive shaft should be welded where the splined coupler goes into the back of the Laycock. The Summer 2005 issue of the Model A Times reviewed the Laycock overdrive. ![]() When overdrive is not engaged, the power comes by way of the transmission output shaft through the one way clutch internal to the ring gear (output) of the planetary gear set. In overdrive, the planetary gears are driven by the held sun gear on the transmission output shaft, which drives the ring gear faster than the output shaft of the transmission. It contains a sun gear with a sliding cone clutch and a planetary gear set that runs in an internally toothed ring gear with a one-way clutch that drives the output, allowing for 0.8:1 gear reduction when overdrive is engaged. The J-type overdrive is said to be stronger and able to withstand higher torque than the older D-type. #LAYCOCK OVERDRIVE VOLVO SERIES#Various different types were built but the unit out of the 244 series Volvo seems to be the one that suits the Model A application. #LAYCOCK OVERDRIVE VOLVO MANUAL#Went out of fashion when regular manual shifts came with a 5th speed overdrive gear as standard. The Volvo overdrive was made by Laycock de Normanville in England and was fitted to many different British cars as well. ![]()
