Bob - it came to me while painting the fence! Check the timing on the engine. I bet it is retarded as least 5 degrees. Reset the timing, then clean the plugs. Those little plugs will foul if you look at them crooked and running the engine retarded will oil them up quickly. You might also check the vacuum line to be sure there isn't a leak somewhere. Bet you $5 this solves your problem. Also, I think the overdrive switch is fine.
Dave,
I did drain some out of the tank and got just a little crud out (not very much at all). I continued and drained the rest of the tank, it was all perfectly clean..I think that the tank is in good shape. The fuel filter was older and had a lot of crud in it, so I put a new in line filter on.
I'm with you about the OD switch. When it did stall, I was pressing the pedal all the way to the floor and was holding it there. I think that I caused the engine stalls. Deb drove the car today on a run through Garden of the Gods and had no problems at all. I think Ms. Hattie just needs a womans touch (no lead footer like me).
Best of wishes to all there in Billings.
