Re: motor dies when using overdrive.

Yes, that ground out connection from the relay contact to the distributor is designed to kill the ignition momentarily, but the contact can hang up and, in my case, stick so I didn't get any ignition at all (until this was pointed out).
Another cause might be malfunction or adjustment of the Throttle Guard (dash pot) on the carburetor, if a 110 has one. Mine is a Super 8 Stromberg AAV-26 which should have one but doesn't (haven't been able to find one). But I don't have the problem you're describing.
The throttle guard prevents the car from dying due to lack of fuel when the OD drops to free-wheeling (I think). So perhaps the carburetor idle adjustment needs to be upped to compensate.
I someone has a Throttle Guard for sale, I'd be interested.
