[Amc-list] Twin Stick!

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

Wow, Twin Stick rules! It's great fun! This slow but torquey motor doesn't 
really need 5 speeds but it sure doesn't hurt! 2-OD is a huge help as Frank

Very sweet to drive! I get it now -- basically you just drive around with 
OD IN, very different than the other Rambler OD setup with the pull cable 
lockup and wide-open-throttle kickdown. The ability to kickdown at 
relatively light throttle makes all the difference. (The vacuum switch 
prevents light-throttle kickdown.)

In surface streets with a traffic light every 100 feet, locking out OD 
helps. Otherwise it's just left IN.



I got all the screwey logic to work right. I fixed the vacuum switch a few 
days ago, then found the ground-out contacts on the solenoid weren't 
working. I cleaned up a spare and that's solved. But there were still 
problems that showed up in testing which turned out to be caused by the 
console OD indicator lamp blue wire grounding out on the shifter! My bad 
when I installed it last.
