Thanks Owen for the information. I wasn't really thinking about changing it back, but that would be a better way to go. I do have a rust bucket car I could pull the generator off and use.
Thanks!

Well here I go again, when will I learn not to take anything for granted. First tried to work on my Electromatic Clutch, found I had the wrong parts, started working on the Overdrive found I had a R-11 after reading all about the R-9. (Plus I do have the black relay box for the R-9). So while working on the Overdrive I noticed that the Amp Meter was always setting in the middle. So I figure lets get all the information and read up on checking the Charging System according to Packard. Well I was already to lick this problem, but something wasn't working according to the manuals. Not something but everything was coming up wrong. Found I had an American Bosch Generator rated at 6 volt and able to put out 60 Amps. Why in the world would I need 60 Amps? So after much back tracking I found out this is a "B" Circuit system, where Packard use an "A" Circuit system.
Also found a lot of good information searching this forum check this out:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=10595&viewmode=compact&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0
Also after a week of reading and finally figuring out what I had I found my Generator is good and the Voltage regulator is causing the problems. I found if I apply pressure to the fixed arm for voltage control then it start charging. So I guess I need to start looking for a 6 Volt, Positive Ground, "B" Circuit, Voltage Regulator, that will be a good match for my GRC 660 B402 Generator. On the Generator it calls for a RGR 660 D101 Regulator, or that's what it looks like to me.

I guess I need to talk to Jason also and make sure I'm on the right track.

Also Check this out it's very good:https://books.google.com/books?id=X-MDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA181&dq=B+Circuit+popular+mechanics&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAGoVChMI-cTqtN-TyQIVgVEmCh2F0Qf6#v=onepage&q=B%20Circuit%20popular%20mechanics&f=false

JW is correct, I do have the R-11 but I also have the black relay box for the R-9. I'm beginning to think they never used this Overdrive after it was installed.
I did run a wire from the Negative post to the solenoid and I heard it clunk, so I'm guessing that works, but that does not guarantee that the Overdrive still works.
Still pressing on.
Wes

Thanks to all for the help, for now I am looking into rebuilding the cable myself, so I will keep ya'll updated on how's it's going.
So as it stands I just wired it up and as I've been going along checking what I can to see if the parts are working. The only thing I haven't been able to check is the speed sensor, since I've had it up on blocks. Being that it is a 47 it does have the indicator for the Overdrive Light and I was looking into using that light to show that the Overdrive was engage, but the light socket had been removed so I had to use a different light.
It's getting there.
Thanks again!
Wes

Thanks Howard, found the mounting bracket was on the correct side for the R-11 because a wire was tied to it holding the overdrive lever what looks like in Overdrive position. <div> Now on to the cable. Looks like I need a new cable or try to build a new one. </div><div> And also need a new switch.</div><div>Well wish me luck and thanks for the help. </div><div>Wes</div><div></div>

Now since the I found out that I have a R-11 instead of a R-9, my next question is the Overdrive Cable the same for both or is one longer than the other. It's
hectic putting together something somebody else took apart.
Thanks!
Wes

If anyone is looking for a replacement for there Kick Down switch for the R-11 Overdrive. Or a Backup Light and Disconnect Over Drive for their R-9 try the following: Cole Hersee 91811 Door/Momentary Switch, two circuit, SPDT. I just installed one for my R-11 Over Drive and it looks like it will work. Be careful there are two kinds for the same part number the only difference is one was screws and the other uses spades.

Looks good! Drive it and enjoy it. All cars all only new once, and keeping a car original is not easy.
Wes

Well the top picture is of the heat shield for the fuel pump. I don't know about the other picture.
