Thanks for the input. I'll give it a try.

Yes, I want to try the overdrive by applying 12 volts from another source as the car is 6v. I just don't want to ruin the relay if it cannot stand 12v.

I have a '50 with overdrive. The solenoid that is on the ****** is a 12volt unit, why I don't know as the car is 6volts. I intend to try the overdrive by using 12 volts to the circuit but am concerned that the relay may burn if it is a 6 volt unit. There are no markings on the relay and it...

6volt solenoid swap City: Moorpark State: Ca. I have a '50 Ford overdrive that has a 12volt solenoid and need to swap it for a 6volt. Works on 12 volts but 6 volts only the holding coil activates. Any interested parties?

I know that this is simple, but did you check to be sure that the distributor rotor is rotating? Cam drives have been known to break.
