It moved!!!!
 
Well, after getting the throw out bearing and clutch fork sorted out, started it up and moved it out of the garage!!! I made it about 500 ft before it ran out of gas!! It rocked! Put some gas in it, made the u-turn at the top of the hill and moved it back into the garage, but facing IN now! Woo hoo. Only noticed a couple of problems....power steering doesn't work, no brakes, clutch is way short, carb linkage is backwards and finally my driver side door fell out the back! Other than that it was great! Thanks to all who have gotten me this far. Now, if I can just get the rest of it sorted out, I'll be ready to paint and drive it.:)

Anyone know how to troubleshoot power steering?

Mine is simple, if it leaks at the box, replace it. Leaks at the hose replace it, leaks at the pump replace it. Anything else I chose to call a friend Regis.

Nah I look for leaks in obvious areas; hoses, around the pulleys on the pump and around the box. After that I revert to the first paragraph.

hehe, sounds like a good plan, but nothing is leaking. From all outward appearances all is good. But when I was driving it, I didn't have any power steering. Just have to figure out how to tell if its the pump or steering gear. Jeff.
