    Many years ago, when the national speed limit was 55, I owned a ‘66 CJ5 with the 225 and an overdrive. Ran it on the interstate around Tucson all the time with no trouble keeping up with traffic on 32” tires. I couldn’t keep a speedometer cable in it so no clue as to my speed but people weren’t very inclined to drive 55 on the highway anymore then than they are today. I used to scare my buddy by fishtailing it when making u-turns on pavement. It was fun to split shift but not practical. I would do it more on open parts of a trail when locked in low range than on the road. The glass packs mounted to the headers ended below the doors. That Jeep was a mess but I wish I had kept it. It was in much better shape than the 3A I own now.
