To bhappy:

The manual says that if you over run the limiter switches you will damage the gears.

The car in question was sitting level, but wouldn't do anything if I sat down on the bumper.

So I was underneath the thing looking for an open limiter switch, which of course I couldn't. Next when I closed the limiter switch with a jumper wire the time delay compensator would start to level the car when I moved the actuator rod.

So I was scratching my head because everything was working.

Just then the phone rang and it was Dwight. He said run them around being careful make sure nothing hits the frame. I unloaded the suspension to avoid overloading the motor.
Down on the ground, and the unit was working perfectly after 45 years in storage.

However, I suspect that the long bar may have a slight bend in it because the car sat slightly higher on the driver's side. I didn't do anything about that because when the owner sat in it the car was level.
