    there is a sensor near the carb on the intake that when the engine is at operating temp, it allows the tranny to go into overdrive. It is a common fail item - you can just take that wire to a ground point on the intake and you will have o/d all the time unless you turn it off with the button on the shifter.

    Thanks for the info, I been trying to trace wiring without much luck. I replaced the carb and got rid all the vac lines etc. I'll get back on it this evening thanks again.
