Current Priorities...

Not only is L not working, but H may have stopped working on the trans as well. Hoping to at least get L working again so I can position the car the way I want it and move it when I want to take my '66 Cadillac convertible out of the garage!

Passenger side rear wheel is stuck. Appears to be from lack of use causing brakes to seize. Don't know if this is keeping H from moving the car or not.

Car starts great once gas is up to the carb. Idle is too fast and won't kick down. Pressing on the accelerator has good response, but speeds does not reduce much once foot is taken off the accelerator. Bought a rebuild kit from Daytona to redo the carb.

Need tires bad! I am shocked that I can keep the current ones filled longer than 5 minutes! Totally rotted. Bigkev got some cheap ones from Walmart...I may go that route until the car is fixed up enough to deserve wide white walls.
