Hi Walt, A friend of mine has one in his '70 454 El Camino and he beats on it and it keeps on ticking. The only problem he's had that I know of is the speed sensor that makes it do its thing stopped working. He called the Gear Vendor tech support and the tech explained how to hard wire it so he would have overdrive and when he got home a new piece was waiting for him.
His only complaint is that the overdrive ratio isn't enough to cruise comfortably at the same speed as me. We both have 3.70 rear gears but my OD ratio is .64 compared to his .7 or .8 (not sure which). It's a pretty cool unit I'll give it that. It shifts fast and hard and doesn't seem to miss a beat. Oh, and a six speed auto sounds cool under power!

I have the opportunity to pick up a used gear vendor overdrive unit at a decent price. Anyone out there running one? Problems? Success? Thoughts?
