There are other electrical components needed for a normal functioning overdrive. Solenoid and governor on the OD unit and a relay and kickdown switch on the firewall. The OD lockout knob assy under the dash also has a switch on it. If you have all those pieces, then it might be made functional providing all are working. You need to determine which OD you have as the components are different between R9 and R11 units. Depending on which series 49, it should have the R11 but it is possible if it was an early or a renumbered 22nd the R9 is installed. Solenoid and lockout lever are on the drivers or left side for an R11 and on the passenger side for the R9.

There have been an install or two where part of the electrical components have been eliminated and the OD is worked strictly manual using a toggle switch but that will be for those who have made that mod to describe.
