Dan -

Could I fit this into my '32 Dictator (currently with free-wheeling) in order to get a smoother cruise at highway speed - the car certainly works very hard to keep up to 55! (brakes are a separate issue...)

Rick,

I don't know, but in checking the parts book it appears the style tranny used in 1938 would interchange back to 1936. In 36 & 37 the OD unit was made intergral with the transmission and in 38 it bolted on a separate unit. Earlier than 1936 looks like a whole different set up.
