A funny thing happened to me on the way to the body shop Friday...

I thought I had my '63 Monza 102/PG running real good.  I was so proud that
even though it's taken me 5 months to get her running and ready for the
first phase of body repairs done, I was actually able to drive her from my
house to the shop about 5 miles.

Problem was that every hill or incline, she would choke out and stall.  Some
of the little  hills, I was able to pushed her over and then start her
again.  On the last real steep hill, a good Samaritan stopped and pulled me
the last 1/4 mile to the body shop where she now rests waiting to get her
crumpled left front fender straightened out.

When I pick her up this Friday, can anyone give me some advise other than
renting a tow dolly? I'd like to drive her home.   I'm thinking the floats
in the carbs are not set right since she will start and run for ever when on
level ground.  I've rebuilt the carbs and thought I had them set up good but
now I don't know.  I appreciate any advise.
