Maybe someone can tell me how to wire the OD in a 1956 Ford Fairlane with out using the kick down switch that became unattached from the fire wall and was replaced by a toggle switch. The toggle switch worked perfectly until it was decided to run new wires for the OD system that had old frayed wires.Ran new wires as in the wiring diagram but bypassed the kick down switch. Car runs great until at 40 mph, the toggle switch is turned on and the engine dies, no electrical power. Turn off toggle switch and power is returned. How can this problem be solved by wiring a different way ???
