Linkage looks to operating properly. The engine revs fine in park and neutral. RPM's just don't seem to build when in drive..
I don't mind answering questions if it gets me headed in the right direction. Sorry to have wasted 2 seconds of your Saturday with my original post.

What did you use for the fill panels in the trunk? I need some for my '56 fairlane.
