You may have seen this before but thought I try sending attached to you regarding repairing OD solenoids. Dan

thanks for that dr brown what I cannot figure out is why this new 1 wont work in the car I did notice that the coil spring is not as heavy as old o/ds it test bench works but wont in car this is crazy

I was once told that a common problem is that the OD is not grounded - i.e. run a gnd wire to frame. Regardless, I expect this old-timer OD builder in Ohio can help .... gather as much info you can before you phone.
