Keep your acceleration and get a real overdrive.
I've had .6 then .8 and now back to .6.

What is your first gear? 3.27? 2.87?
Betcha don't much notice accelaration with a 3.07ish gear...esp if it's the 3.27 1st gear

I had first gear changed so it wasn't a granny gearing, taller gear so did not have to shift at 10 mph. In fifth gear just under 2100 rpm and 75 mph. Running 3.56 rear end. T 5 trans.

OP, a 0.82 OD TKO with a 2.92 R&P and 295x60x15 rears will put you at 2000 rpm at about 70 mph. It will have almost exactly the same first gear as a close ratio top loader and a 3.73 R&P — T/L first gear 8.38, TKO first gear 8.65!
If the car is not uncontrollable in first gear the problem is more steam in the boiler.
