Finally made it back to Daytona Beach after six months in Wisconsin.I left the 59 in the garage down here in Fl.My neighbor started it for me once a week.Before I left I had the 4 barrel carb rebuilt.I also put in a new water pump.Anxious to get back to work on it.Next item I need to fix is the shifter indicator as it doesn’t line up with the letters.Has anyone addressed this problem in the past?Thanks
On my 57, if I remove the cover I think it was, I have access to the indicator pointer. Mine is just a piece of sheet metal secured by a screw and there is a thin tapered portion that serves as the pointer. I would say that you can bend it to line up properly. This is going by memory as I had the entire steering column off and apart this summer.
Thanks for the reply.I haven’t tackled that ,yet.I have to try to tighten the power steering belt.When I changed the water pump last year I guess I didn’t get it tight enough and it’s really making a noise. Darn air conditioner is in the way.
