Thanks for the warning, Don.
I blew up two mufflers like that, not getting the clutch in while in 2nd over and slowing down.

I left the circuit connected and drove without OD. Did two 3-mile test drives just now, plenty of stops. The 2nd time I turned on my headlights and both heaters. No problems whatsoever.

So now I think there's a problem with the OD relay cutting the ignition when I slow to a stop even out of gear while in OD.

I might see if Flackmaster has one. I think they may be a little rare. Otherwise when I'm up in Baltimore, I could go to Ross Miller. I'll call him tomorrow about his schedule. So around town, I'd just not use OD and save it for the freeway.
