After installing my new power steering gear box and putting it all back together, I had reported a new problem had developed with the gear shift being out of place. After looking at it for a while I finally realized that when I unbolted a brace in the linkage to make room, and then put it back on, I had rotated it 180 degrees out of place. After putting it back the way it is suppose to be, the gear shift linkage is now working fine again. I also managed to straighten the steering wheel by slightly loosening the bolt at the Flex Joint at the gear, then driving the car straight in a parking lot to find where straight is, turning the engine off so the power steering was off, and then turning the steering wheel as it clicked over the gear shaft spline until it was straight, starting the car again, and turning the wheel until I could get to the bolt to tighten it again.

Last two problems to fix is the exhaust leak somewhere on the right side of the manifold. Perhaps the doughnut gasket. Has anyone tried replacing these? Any hints on how to do it?

Minor oil drip when the car is turned off. Can't seem to find where it is coming from. I tightened the oil pan and valve covers.

I am also going to try to replace the zipper on the rear window (convertible) with velcro.

Thanks for any advise.
