I'm going to tell what I have heard about these D20 OD units.  I have no
direct knowledge of them but was told they come off of older Chevy's.
My dad had a rusted out '58 Biscayne with a 3 speed overdrive.  When I
asked if this was the correct OD, I was told that it was.  I would be
promptly cut out of the will if I thought about stealing parts off of
Dad's "first car" so I will never know.  I would still have to find the
kit that is needed to put it on the back end of a D20.  It is cable
operated BTW.  Grain of salt and all.  Just something I heard on the BB
when the BB only had ~30 posts a day.
