1940 Overdrive Switch

I am rewiring my Super 8 (1807) and notice that I have two pairs of wires going to my Econo-Drive. Two wires which are supposed to go to the overdrive indicator light(brown) and energize when the overdrive is active; and two which are supposed to go the lockout switch(black/red). I don't see the OD light socket anywhere on the dash and I do not find a switch that is near(or part of) my overdrive engagement cable.
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks, Gar Attach file: ![]() ![]()

Thanks for the fast reply. OK, so it seems that the lock-out switch was removed under the dash and was bypassed (not cool). Also looks like I need a lockout knob assembly. I will have to add these to my list and start looking for more parts...

I have a lock-out cable assembly with switch and knob in good condition. I can deliver to Hershey. $300

Also, the light for overdrive on the dash is the same knob that is used for the dash light dimmer. On cars fitted with overdrive, the switch came with a light with a red cats-eye lens.
