Here is my unfinished wiring of the overdrive
Here is a series of pictures that I took trying to explain how it will work. I have not been able to finish it like I would like today, but life happens.
My color code is as follows:
-Yellow from Ignition to on/off switch to light to relay (#85)
-Red is from batt (fuse 20 amp) to relay (#30)
-Black is Ground/Governor to (#86)
-Green is Solenoid to relay (#87)
This one is of the whole setup. I am wiring a light between the on/off push button switch and the relay as you can see in the second photo.
The second is a close up of the on/off and light.
The third one is showing the batt wire with a fuse.
The fourth is of the Governor/Ground Wire
The fifth is of the solenoid wire
These last two are of the relay socket and the relay itself. It is a bosh relay 30amps.
In regards to ratio, it is a .70:1 ratio. The trans is a Saginaw and I would expect that like anything that is well taken care of, it should handle quite a bit. Not 500 hp, but a small block should do fine. They used to put these things behind 283's.
