#2, if you meant that you have 55lbs of air in the tires, that sounds excessive to me. If you based that pressure on what is printed on the sidewall, that is just a rated maximum but even with radials you should use Packard's tire pressure recommendation. That's only an observation and nothing to do with the steering issue.

#3 sounds like a float or needle value issue inside the carburetor. While waiting for the experts to respond, that's where I would look first.
