Seth, you read it wrong or you have a misprint.  The  dash

Have both throttle rods off of the TV lever.  Put a  slight
counterclockwise twist on the TV lever while you overcome it by  pushing
the ball in.               Smitty




Thanks, Smitty - The Tech manual tip was slightly off, suggesting  Reverse 
instead of drive and specifying full throttle (wrong). But my problem  was I had 
connected the throttle rods the the TV lever so I could start and  run the 
motor. In order to install the cable, both had to be removed! With the  rods 
attached, the lever wouldn't rotate counter-clockwise nearly  enough. DOH!  This 
morning,  I went back to the 61 shop Manual  (early manuals are better than 
late manuals!) and read the GM gospel. After  following the instructions it went 
right in. All gears accessible!  After  starting it up it ran fine for about 
15 minutes. (clicky lifters and all.) Then  it ran out of gas. Plenty in the 
tank, (it seems), but none at the pump.  Sitting for 6-7 years - I will have to 
do the tank/line clean-out shuffle.  - Seth
