Hello, Healeyphiles!

After many years of faithful service, my overdrive solenoid packed it in
during a recent return to North Carolina from Maryland.  When it failed, it
did so to keep the O/D permanently engaged, which was sorta surprising to me.
It really melted itself down.  When it burns, it has a peculiar odor, by the
way, which I smelled during cruise on the interstate before I realized I the
problem with the overdrive.

Not wanting to risk replacing this original Lucas unit with some junk from
Taiwan, I thought I would ask on the list for recent experiences:  has anyone
bought a good or bad one recently, and from whom?  I like to order from Moss
for convenience whenever possible, but this is a part that needs to be a
quality item.

Recommendations?
Thanks,
