Re: 54 Mercury-box on firewall ID
If you have overdrive, is it the OD relay?

I do have an overdrive on the car. Have not tried it yet since I've had the car.

Re: 54 Mercury-box on firewall ID
Big wire to the relay to actuate the pull in coil on the solenoid. Then it switches over to a holding coil internally and the load goes down. I dont have a manual where I’m at, but I thought they were fed right off the battery (on my bird via the starter solenoid) and the coil circuit was thru the ignition. ?
Have you driven those overdrives before? |
