Overdrive kickdown ign cut out circuit on the R11 would be a wire from one of the top two terminals on the kickdown switch to the distributor side of the coil. It could be connected either at the coil or on the dist terminal. If something has happened and the OD cut out is staying grounded that could certainly cause your problem.

One other thing is with some distributors there is a small wire from the outside terminal to the points connection inside the dist. The old insulation has a habit of disintegrating and then falling off if disturbed. If you have that small 2-3" fabric covered flex wire inside the dist, another thing to look at and make sure it has not grounded. Frequent places are under the advance plate where it passes thru a little guide and near the point/condenser connection.
