It's hard to keep straight what I have answered, done and will do!!!! LOL Thanks for the suggestions - know I value and consider every single one.
Re the gas pedal business - one of the many things I have purchased for the car (and I mean MANY!) is a NOS gas pedal, as the one in the car looked like it could have been original and was really worn. It would pop off the metal ball stubs if I pumped it too hard. It cost me $100, but it is an original Packard pedal, not a repro and I had to use soap and considerable 'coaxing' to get it on over the metal balls. Now that I have the accelerator linkage properly hooked up and ALL lubricated - the gas pedal is like factory - perfectly smooth and it returns very snappily. The linkage also bottoms out the carb now, which it did not do properly before and I had to have a big auxiliary spring on it. One more thing fixed!!!
And yes David - a bypass of the ignition switch is 'on my list' - thanks!
