Yikes! Sure is interesting how the written word can inform, and infuriate at
the same time! Don't quite understand how this thread got bitter...but...
I've had OD in my GT for quite awhile (had it installed in the late 70s),
and it's been flawless. Did have a strage 'freewheeling' situation some
years back, but a good cleaning of the filters, and replacement of the 'o'
rings banished the problem.
The biggest OD problem I have is - yes, wait for it - the loose nut behind
the wheel.
Can't tell yah how many times I'm coming off the highway in OD 4th, down
shift to OD 3rd, then down to 2nd - WHOA! welcome to my over-revs!
I always thought a small indicator light, perchance mounted up there with
the blue high beam and red alternator lights between the speedo & tach would
be a good reminder that OD was engaged.
I seriously thought the thread would lead to an explanation of how to do
this. (It didn't!)
My questions therefore are as follows:
- how would one wire such an indicator/warning light into one's OD circuit?
- where would one find a jewelled glass lamp (like the hi beam & alt) in
say, green?
OD installation preparations begin this weekend! Now, why does the weather
have to be so nice when I want to disable the car?
