When driving he has to open the hood to level out the linkage so that the gear-shift lever can be moved. Any ideas on what he can do or what parts I can get to fixd this slight problem?

I solved the problem of the engine continuning to run with the key switch turned off by adding a diode in the White wire from the two-connector plug from the alternator. I used a 6 amp Radio Shack diode installed so current could enter the alternator through the white wire, but not out of the alternator(point of the diode away from alternator). The problem is that the alternator will backfeed power to the ignition system through the white wire. Hope this helps. I am sure you will get lots of other fixes also. Let us know how it worked out.

Are the engines the same or not? Main question is are the fuel pumps interchangable? Thanks Scott __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
