Does anyone have a schamitic or a drawing of the wiring for the ignition. Its for a wagon with overdrive. The person who owned it prior to removed the ignition and now there is a wire hanging and the Overdrive is not working.

Thank you,
Matt

It connects to the ACC terminal on the switch. The attached diagram shows the system picks up power at the coil, however the '52/3/4 Ford service manual shows it connects to the IGN switch.

You might consider running a hot wire through a toggle switch down to the solenoid. Then you can put in and take out of o/d at will. Kinda like a 6 speed ******. I've done this on all of my o/d cars (including my '54 sedan back in high school). Works well. Just make sure you remove or disconnect the kickdown switch under the gas pedal. If you hit it while in o/d (through the hot wire) it back up into your distributor and carbon up the rotor so bad the car will die on you right there. I learned that lesson the hard way (twice) back in high school.
