Motorwrench -- If I read your post correctly, what you call the rail interrupter is a switch that keeps current from going to the relay until the OD is actually mechanically activated. If that's correct, it's essentially what I have in my wiring. I was wondering if there was any harm and...

I agree. However, once speed exceeds 28mph, the governor completes the control circuit though the relay and powers the relay load circuit, which activates the solenoid. My question remains that with power going to the relay, does the solenoid get activated above 28mph even though the overdrive...

Thanks for the reply. Mine OD is a bit of a "one off" installation. I think mine is an early 50's Rambler unit that had flat flanges front and back, as Ramblers back then still had enclosed drive shafts. There's no lock out switch on it, and it was only used back in the day to drop power...

Hope this hasn't been posted before. With the B/W overdrive unit, is the governor switch always powered even if the overdrive is not being used, i.e., cable is not pushed in? If it's powered, wouldn't this mean that the solenoid also is being activated through the relay when speed exceed 28...

Thanks -- I've used Third Gen Automotive before for other items.

Have similar question. I've a '47 and need the king pins repaired. Stock spindles. Anyone recommend a good king pin kit to use (preferably avoid if sourced from China). Thanks.
