Update: I ended up replacing the governor with a NOS one from Van Pelts. I took it for a few test runs and everything is working properly. So, not exactly sure what the problem was. I have always had some trans gear oil dripping from the base of the solenoid. I replaced the seal during this...

That's pretty close to my cap and it looks like it contains the part that broke. At the very least, I can grab it and take out the part I need. Thank you rotorwrench!

Well, I wasn't having any luck with finding an obvious problem. So I took everything apart to clean and check the connections. The last thing I did was take the governor cover off to clean the contact points with a file and I broke it in the process.....stupid me...One of the springy tabs...

Scooder might be on to something....I started with turning the ignition on and off and nothing happened with the solenoid. A short time later, I would turn the ignition on and off and the solenoid engaged/disengaged with the ignition. Huh? I checked the relay and all is good. It clicks and...

Ok, here's a quick update: I tested the solenoid on the car and it sounded like it engaged. I took it out to make sure the seal was good and that there was no fluid inside.....All good there. Also, the trans and overdrive unit have plenty of fluid in them. My problem is as Ken Henry...

Ok, thanks guys! That's a lot of good info. I'll start trying and see what happens. One other thing, When I drive in standard 3 speed (no overdrive and dash lever pulled out) the handle will gradually pull itself all the way in to where in puts itself into overdrive mode. I will routinely...

Very nice resource indeed!

Hot damn! This might be the best thread of all time! I have some movie watching to do this winter. What a great reference! Thanks to all who contributed!

That is amazing! I missed it if it was on display when I was up at the Henry Ford Museum.

Yeah...there has to be some good hoodlum stories out there...Drag racing, engine swaps, moving, hauling stolen goods, bank heists, dead bodies in the trunk....Would love to hear some.....
