Electrical Connections on Overdrive Unit

1954 Convertible w/ 3-speed + OD (I do not know which “R” version it is.)

During the removal of the engine and transmission for overhaul, I was not present for pics to be taken of the wiring connections on the overdrive unit itself, therefore, I have some questions. There is no issue with which wires connect to the solenoid.

1. The wire schematic shows only one wire from the governor, but there are 2 wires. What does one do with the extra wire and which wire is connected to the lock-out switch? The wires on the governor are the same color. One is not yellow as alluded to on the wire diagram.

2. Once determined which wire is used, does it matter which terminal on the lock-out switch the governor wire is connected?

3. Does it matter which terminal wire #44 is connected on the lock-out switch. I cannot see any ref. designators on the switch.

Thanks for your input!
