Guys...
Any guidance would be great! My 58 came home from the shop yesterday, with a rebuilt powersteering pump and Brakes shoes, drums turned etc. Well, tried to take her out and the Gear Shifter.... didn't allow me to start it unless in nuetural and then the dial... wasn't quite acurate. So I took a friend with me on the road test. She was all over the road, slopy slopy handling in the steering. Brakes where soft (just wondering if they didn't bleed them well), but it was the steering and the gear shift that gave me true concern. I felt better when the power steering pump was out I knew where she was on the road. Last night she just floated. Do you think it just needs to be tighten? I went to put it in park and it kept rolling it took 3 tries to convince it to park...
When at a stop sign she stalled.. just an adjustment on the carb (maybe), but with the gear shift not going into park correctly and ...well... you can guess the rest it was uncomfortable trying to restart with all the traffic.
So where should I go first? I have contact the Tbird ranch via email to see if he would happen to have a 58 steering colum with no slop?
Any way... stuck at home, I don't think she is safe to drive yet.
