I don't know how much current that overdrive solenoid requires or what that switch is rated for. I have a shifter with momentary switch on top. Do you want it? I know I keep saying I have shit, then I never take pictures of it or follow up, but honestly I have no use for it. If the knob is in poor shape you can at least reuse the switch and button part. I think a momentary setup with that little electronic box would be trick! If you use the 84 shifter, just put a toggle switch somewhere else. Mine is on the console. GM changed it to a momentary switch in mid-85. I also had the idea of wiring up a momentary switch to the steering wheel so I could hit it without taking my hands off the wheel. BTW I bet your car already has the "Overdrive" indicator in the dic, you just need to install a bulb and socket behind it. |
