Howard,
As I compared your photos of overdrive solenoid and the color wire diagram from Big Kev, it was obvious that 4 and 6 were reverse connected. Also, two of the bottom wires were in the wrong position (1 and 3??). I switched 4/6 and still had the short. Then switched the bottom terminals to match correct color/terminal numbers. No short:). However, I don't have a complete circuit to starter so will have to trace that issue.
I think I understand now, my reference to accelerator switch was really the overdrive kickdown right at accelerator pedal. I did know that the carburetor switch was mounted on carb base and engaged by the throttle linkage. Details coming back slowly.
Saw your reply regarding fog lights/EC switch. My car does have the fog light dash switch but no lights were installed. The control cable and knob I believe are strictly mechanical disconnect for the OD so EC not installed as option....I guess.
Direct speed switch I have not located however, the green wire in loom has an eye that is not attached. It is labeled Direct speed switch and is long enough to reach the back 2/3 of engine compartment. Mystery still remains on the two unattached pairs of red and green with round pin connectors. There is no obvious place to connect except one to the other with bakelite butt connection. The two greens ohm out as "common" but the reds do not. Scratchin' head. Will keep digging...Thanks for all your input.
Cheers
