Re: Hill Holder for BW OD Cars

I'm still trying to figure out how the version in the mag article is supposed to work. There doesn't appear to be any thing connected to the brakes like the fluid trapping hill holder option O_D refers to. It appears all they are doing in that writeup is bypassing the governor and energizing the OD solenoid directly via a toggle switch so the OD engagement is manually controlled for the 6 forward speeds and freewheeling capability the article touts. I wasn't aware that BW ODs had any hill holding functionality unless it was something unique to the Ford they show in the photo.
