[Amc-list] WOO HOO!!!!

[d stohler <das24rules@xxxxxxxxx>]

well, FINALLY... the 61 classic wagon my neighbor and
i picked up about a month or so ago drove around the
block under her own power tonight. we had to use
pistons out of 1 196 and hone out the original block,
and reassemble. had several problems along the way.
point is tho, she finally moved on her own. no
exhaust. the down pipe out of the manifold cut off
just at the trans cross member and thats about it. the
whole neighborhood noticed. :-D hehe. so, ya, pretty
happy about that. the pushbutton trans is all good.
thing acts like it is geared HIGH. 

i do have a couple questions however. my tsm talks
about a throttle valve cable. i can not find any cable
going to the trans that goes into the engine bay. just
the shifter cables. second, there are 2 wires coming
from the trans. when we got the car, the head had been
torn apart and machined. there was a contact switch on
the intake manifold with only 1 bolt. i am assuming it
is some kind of kick down switch?? but how the heck
does it mount? i cant figure it out. im kinda
confused. there is a vacume line that goes into the
intake and trans. hooked up. 

she moved on her own tho. thats good enough for
tonight. fine tuning happens now.
