Bob, there are a couple of things you can try with it in place, although you
will have to pull the trans tunnel again. The first I would try is putting
the rear end securely on jack stands then with the engine turning the rear
wheels in 4th, first engage the solenoid and then push forward firmly on the
'adjustment' lever on the right side of the OD. If the OD now engages, you
may need to use the modified solenoid adjustment that many people have
documented. If having the rear wheels spin scares you, then you can
disconnect the driveshaft instead.
Nelson Riedel has written up some wonderful troubleshooting instructions for
the A-type, they're posted on the Buckeye Triumphs site at
http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org
Near the bottom of part IV is also the modified adjustment procedure I
referred to.
