79 G10 shift lever not going into P or R. - May 21st 2017 1:34 am
Hi folks,
I finally got my carb issues worked out. Someone replaced the quadrajet with a Carter AFB and the fuel in the bowl had been boiling off causing hard starts. Edelbrock who sells the AFB now as their Performer series sells a .3 inch nitrile "gasket" to go between the manifold and the carb. Hopefully that will isolate it enough so the fuel doesn't boil off anymore...
Now on to the other dozen things that need done. Lately I've been unable to pull the shift lever towards me in order to get it into park or reverse. I have to go under the hood and with a flathead separate the detent plate so I can move the lever to R and P.
I've read that there is a procedure to put the lever into park, loosen the bolt and move the plate into the correct position for PARK and then tighten the bolt. Is that what is going to fix my problem or is something else the matter that I can't pull the lever towards me?
Thank you!
