Smile overdrive

thanx for all the help and advice on the a/c...cooling system..brakes etc..couldn't have done it without the kind assistance of this forum..the ol 86 br2 is runnin great..now i'm thinkin about fixing the overdrive..i had rebuilt trans put in awhile back and the overdrive was never hooked up..they said it was an electrical prob and they didn't do that..said it was probly the computer..this is something i don't absolutely have to have..but it would be nice..if its not gonna be a monumental task,i think i might just tackle it..any thoughts??

If you plug in the wiring for the overdrive and it doesn't work, then you probably have computer issues or vacuum issues.

Not that difficult. I forgot about the solenoid(s) for the overdrive. That'd be the first thing besides vacuum issues to check before swapping out the computer....
