Question Mystery Box
Hey guys. I have an issue here with a box on the side of my steering column. The can't paste a photo in for whatever reason. I'll add it to my gallery. I did believe that it was an overdrive but now I'm not so sure. I don't see an overdrive unit on my drive train anywhere. The lever is spring loaded and I can't see where any of the wiring is coming from or going to.
I also have this in the Washington Chapter forum.

It is a very old - perhaps original to the '60s - brake controller too! Notice the hydraulic connection, just like the ones used up into the middle '90s.

At the master cylinder there is a tee where that one brake line connects. Remove and plug or remove tee fitting and screw regular brake line abck into M/C. Bleed brakes. Wires run to power that goes to the trailer wiring.Trace and remove or cut and tape.
