Congratulations on your very spiffy looking 55. That's a seldom seen but very attractive color combination. Did you get the green or the brown interior?

As to your leveler, relax, they are not too hard to get working properly.

As a temporary expedient, you can level the car with a twelve volt battery charger or a spare battery and some cables: 1) Turn your leveler switch under the dash off (to the left). 2)Hook the pos clamp of your charger anywhere on the frame that's handy. Reach way under from some safe position and touch one of the two terminals on the leveler motor itself. If I recall the upper terminal makes the back go up, and the lower one makes it go down. It will be real obvious which one is which. A couple seconds of running should have you back to level. With this scheme you are bypassing all the controls and limit switches, so don't go have a cup of coffee while the leveler runs--do it just enough to level.
