when i had the od sol.out and put power to it. it worked when i hook to the #4 terminal and the #6 terminal is to diactdvat it when the gas pedal is press. all the way down and press the kick down switch. i had the power wire from the over drive relay going to the #6 terminal. and when the gov. got up to speed and turn on the over drive the hot wire was shorting out on the over drive sol. case due to it was hook up to the #6 terminal which is the ground on the over drive sol.and was turning on the alt light. thats why when i slowed down the light will go out due to the over drive gov. slowed down and turned the power of to the over driver relay thus turning off the power to the over drive sol.. now when i moved the wire to the #4 terminal which is the power side of the over drive sol. it did not short out any more. and the wire coming from the kick down switch went to the #6 terminal which is is tied in with the coil to make engine coil short out and miss to let the pawl disengage when the kick down switch is actdvated. will this what i get out of it. and it drove good today with no problems.

p.s. the 12volt battery in the trunk is a stand alone for just the radio and nothing else..

will i checked every thing over and found that i did have the wiring hooked up backwards due to i went to a neg. ground. the wire from the relay needs to be hooked up to the #4 terminal and the wire from the kick down switch need to go to the #6 terminal. it will be the other if i stay with the pos.ground. i took the car out and in over drive i can get up to 70mph and the alt. light did not come on. and every thing semes to be working real good now. i have to say thanks for all your help i real do appreciate it...

thanks again
joe in tn..

thanks for the reply.

do you know the best way to check for this. and if the sol. is still in pull-in how do you repair that. is there a chance that i have the wires hook up backwards. there is one wire coming from the kick down switch and the other is from the relay on the fire wall. as the best that i could i rewired the car to factory. only change was going to a neg. ground due to i installed a 12v battery in the trunk to power the am-fm radio in the trunk. which it turned out pretty good..

thanks for the info.

hay to all
i know this started out as a headliner question and ended up as a charging question. will i had the old girl out to day and found out that the gen. light comes on with the over drive ingauged when i get up to abount 50,55mph. i can turn the over drive off by pulling out the knob and go 60 to 65mph and the light will not come on. any though on what it could be or how i can check out each part in the electricel sys. on the over drive unit. now i can say that i do think the over dive is working due to the engine is not turning as many rpm. and when i let off on the gas pedal the car gose into a cost mode and reingaugs when i press. the gas pedal.

thanks for any help

will you have a good point there. it will save me a lot of money. and you make it sound easy. i may try that.

joe

no you do have it right is the battery post to the gen. and i checked that is what i did. joe

will if i can find somebody i think it will look real cool. i may try my local muffler shop i don't know. joe

p.s. think god for spell check

yah i took a jumper wier and shorted out the battery post and the field on the voltage rag.. i think it's the field will the one in the middle next to the battery post on the voltage rag. i think thats right. joe

will i went with the neg. ground due to i mounted a 12v radio in the trunk and it is neg. ground i did not went nothing to short out. know when i went to the 6volt neg. ground and did change the voltage reg. and changed the wiers in the coil. all gauges, light and overdrive are working good. and the engine starts real good. so i thank there is something out of adjustment or the original gen. may be going which it looked good when i took it apart to clean it up. joe

no not yet i did take it out for a short drive today.for the first time. mostly i have just driven it around the naberhood. car did good i did have the battery light on when i got up to 55mph i slowed down and the light went out. so i will have to find out what is going on with the 6volt neg. ground set up that i have. other then that it all went well. joe
