[Healeys] overdrive

[Herbert Miller]

I took my BJ8 out for a test drive the other day, and the overdrive worked
just fine. When I got back, and opened the hood, I noticed that I had not
replaced the actuation rod between the throttle linkage and the overdrive
throttle switch. Then I got to thinking. I have a Jaguar MK11 sedan and a
couple of MGB,s with basically the same OD. Neither make has a overdrive
throttle switch and they seem to work just fine. I don't know about TR,s or
Volvo,s that also used the same basic OD. Why does the Healey use this
switch?
