Darn I thought I had a wiring dia for that year. Anyway you are wrong about
going thru the reverse switch. The over drive circuit does not have any thing
to do with that switch.
The first thing you must do if you do not want to use the windshield switch is
connect the one end to the yellow wire to a white ignition circuit.
The routing should start with the yellow under the hood change to yellow/red
to the 3/4 switch red to gear handle switch and black to the solenoid.
I have mine fused with an inline fuse 30 amp on the yellow line under the
hood. This is on my 71. Of course I waited untill I almost set the car on fire
when the solenoid shorted out one day.

I have a 74 1/2 RB non overdrive. I have a 77B side fill O/D unit to install.
can anyone describe to me the routing, color and connections
of the wires as they start under the hood and proceed through the reverse
light
switch
the 3/4 switch, gear switch and finally down to the solenoid? I don't have
a wiring diagram. I think this is the route can someone tell me if this is
right.
Power comes down the through the yellow wire in the loom aft of the
coil under the hood. from there it has to go through
the reverse switch from there through the 3/4 switch and finally through
the gear handle switch down to the solenoid on the bottom of the unit.
The only wires I have are the gear switch wires, one red and one black.
I want to fuse the circuit from the engine compartment aft.
What type of fuse is needed and what is the best way to wire this thing.
I don't want to use the windshield switch. I would rather use the gear shift
mounted switch. Next question. How mush slop is excessive
when it comes to clutch fork bushings?
