THANKS Glen:
    I verified the soloniod is getting current. So it  does not appear to be 
electrical isues. Randall sent me some great trouble  shooting info, looks 
like we will be in deep soon.

Bob - I just replaced the solenoid on my 77 Spit overdrive, thinking it  had 
gone bad. The overdrive still didn't work, but after testing the circuits,  I 
realized that I wasn't getting juice through the overdrive inhibitor switch  
when in third/fourth gear. I replaced that switch (about $10 from Spitbits),  
and that solved the problem. Try replacing that switch, but also make sure the  
gearbox has sufficient oil.
