How come you don't want to Fix it with a replacement switch before the Road trip? Are you driving the car home or trailering it?

Bill test drove the car today at long last.
Transmission is doing fine: 1-2 shifts right around 3,500 RPM (unless you floor it, then it's more like 5,000 RPM). Just driving around the neighborhood today he didn't need third gear. Highway driving comes later. Bill said it's "not quite as fast as a 5-speed, but surprisingly peppy."
No valve clatter under hard acceleration. Occasional momentary valve clatter from idle to throttle -- could be because the carburetor is still jetted for the B28F. Since 3.0L is higher displacement and higher compression, may need larger jets (or tweak the accelerator pump).
Bill says the exhaust is "surprisingly quiet." (Especially considering that it's only loosely fitted to the manifolds, pending two more guillotine clamps on order.)
Radiator fans continue to function normally, but brakes are a little heavy. Going to try fresh fluid.
Exciting!
