Re: 39 Packard OD solenoid

On the R6 overdrives used in 39 the overdrive solenoid activates to kick the overdrive down as as opposed to all the later units where the solenoid was used for the upshift. Therefore if you floor the throttle with the engine off you will hear it vainly trying to kickdown the trans. No harm done. You just really don't need to open the throttle that far to set the choke.
