Hi Brian
If I remember right you have just converted your car to O/D, if this is the
case, drive it around without worrying about a light to let you know whether
your O/D is in or out. You will soon get used to the feel of the switch
position and the revs, way the car pulls etc,(after all, a few weeks into
our driving life we all stop looking at the shift stick to see which gear we
are in don't we!) What I am trying to say is it will become second nature to
you, until it does become second nature, when you are wrong as to its status
well what the hell you didn't hurt anything!

| Has anybody rigged a status light to indicate that the OD is on/engaged.
I am

| indicator.  I jewel light in the speedo or tach would be the best.  But
that
| would require major high quality work to make it look right.
|
| One thought is the little hole at the bottom of the dash support just over
the
| gearbox tunnel.  It comes covered with a rubber plug and I have seen it
used
| for anything.  I very small green panel light here might work.
|
| I would love to have some insights on this from those OD experts out
there.
