Hello eveyone. My name is Harry and I just joined! Last weekend I picked up a
63 greenbrier standard. My girlfriend and I spent about 10 hours cleaning the
top half of the engine and giving it a major tune up and a new muffler. It has
been sitting since 1987 and I am going to put new tires on it. I was cautioned
about the tires and the shocks. I was told to fit the largerst (widest) tires
that I could in the wheel wells to maximize traction and to help prevent wheel
jacking. I also have a set of 14x7 mags (with I think the correct offset, or
atleast that is what I was told. I have seen the same type on other FC) that I
was thinking about putting on it. Anythoughts?
I am in need of a shop manual! The gas pedle and the throttle cable need to be
adjusted and I have a problem with the automatic shifter, it appears not to
work, I think. When I attempt to put it in gear nothing happens and the cable
is all loose. But I have a big leak of tranny fluid at the bell housing, I
need to investigate this more.
Thanks
Harry
