Need an overdrive relay.

Wondering if there is a part number for a relay for a 40 OD trans ?
Thanks,
Jeff

Val

Check with Doug Wildrick, he supplied and installed the one in my car

First type (up to car #47852):  part #160652 -- consists of relay #160787 plus (4) round head screws 8-32 x 1/4" and (4) #6 lock washers.

Second type (above car #47852): part #160787 (apparently this needs no screws).

You'd do well to have a 1940 parts manual.  There is a downloadable one online at the Library, on the H-E-T website (Assuming you're a club member!)   https://hetclub.org/

The relay switch goes from 1940,41,42,46,47 all the same

They’re all the same functionally but the later ones have a 6-pin male socket.  You’ll need the female socket for the OD harness

Thanks Val.
And thanks Jon B, I do have those numbers but no way to cross reference them to Autolite or similar. And I definitely am a club member! 

Toddh, I'm not familiar with the 6-pin male socket...

The relays for Hudson overdrive may be able to be repaired or the innards removed and replaced with a modern relay in an original case. The attachment explains how the later is done.

Thanks charles4d I did see that one also. Theres also several others listed. Just wanted to make sure I get the correct one.
Thanks also Glowplug, I may look into that as well.
