Thanks so much for the information it should help alot

1956 400 push-button problem. Last week after driving the car for an hour or so it would not shift out of reverse. I turned the ignition off and tried to restart it. Of course it did nothing since it was still in reverse. After the car set for a day I turned the ignition on, pushed the neutral button and I could hear the acctuator working.I started the car and put it in different gears,L,N,R,D, Sometimes it wouldn't shift. This was sitting in the garage. I eventually turned the ignition off with the car in reverse.I turned the key to start and it started in reverse.I have an old motors manual but nowhere in the trouble shooting can I find a problem like this.Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info

We are restoring a 56 Packard 400. The front and rear driver's side windows need new motors. Are there any other makes of window motors that could be adapted to work. I am a non-mechanic and would appreciate any suggestions.

I have a 52 Mayfair ultramatic that always hesitates and nearly dies when accelerating from a stop, I have replaced the accelerator pump. I was told one time I could bend the rod on the side of the carb (to the accelerator pump I think) to cure this but I am not sure just how to do this...any advice?

Thanks

Thanks
