Hello all!
My wife and I have a 1970 Plymouth Satellite 4 door with a 383 Big Block and A727 transmission. We have been doing a lot of work and recently we replaced the fuel pump and fuel lines up to the carb and also replaced a freeze plug behind the starter. After all that we have been finally able to start the car and get it to run. Well we decided to take it for a drive around the parking lot in our apartment complex and while driving the car shut off and will not shift into park. The car won’t start either. It sounds as if the battery is dead which could be because we aren’t sure if the alternator is charging the battery or not but what doesn’t make sense is that the car was in drive as it shut off and now it doesn’t want to go into park. It’s as if it’s stuck in drive or neutral. Do you any of you have an idea were we should begin? I checked the shifter linkage and all that’s in place. It feels as if it shifts through all the gears. We do have a leak currently at the transmission pan because the gasket was crushed in which we plan on replacing soon. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
