[Healeys] Intermittent OD failiure

[RAntal243 at aol.com]

Greetings Healeyphiles,
     for years, intermittently when I flicked the dash  switch to engage the 
OD on my BJ8, the OD would fail to engage. If i kept on  flicking the switch 
on and off, eventualy it would engage, especially if at the  same time, I 
depressed the accelerator to the floor. The OD and selenoid were  rebuilt and 
replaced three years ago. The problem existed before the rebuild and  after but is 
now becoming a more frequent nuisance. The relay switch on the  firewall was 
replaced last year. The dash switch is original (1965). Is there  any way I can 
test the switch to see if it intermittently fails? I would guess  that this 
occurrs once every twenty times I engage OD. 
Thanks for any suggestions.
