"I'm pretty sure that the OD worked, but it would not kick down. Back to the drawing board. Pulled out the kickdown switch AGAIN. WD 40 got it to work, and it tested fine, though it took some pressure on the plunger. Put it back in. Tested the poles in relation to accelerator position and
NADA. The accelerator will not move the plunger far enough to break the OD relay circuit."

This is some troubleshooting I need to do...where is that switch located? My OD works fairly well but won't kickdown which makes for some very sluggish get-aways if I don't slow down enough at an intersection. A hassle to use the knob all the time.
