It's all about power. And the fact that my first Saab was a '74 99LE that I converted over to a 4spd (at the ripe old age of 17); compared to the '72 that my dad had that had a carb and a (expletive deleted) 1.85L it was awesome. I love that '74 cam. And being able to do 55mph in 2nd gear was super.
All of the rerouting back by the tank was able to be done with rubber hose and hose clamps; nothing difficult. Same in the engine compartment. The fuel pump in back was simply removed.
I do NOT have the '74 running now, but I should be getting the clutch parts in the mail today to really get serious about finishing its auto-to-4spd conversion (yes, history repeats itself). It will just have to fight for priority with my daughter's 91 900S (which needs an auto-to-5spd job), my '85 SPG project, my '78 99T, and finishing the head gasket job on my wife's '92 9000. Never a dull moment.
