Dean,
Automatic transmissions will tend to turn the drive shaft ,in neutral,
it's
the nature of their design.If you had your car up on a hoist with the
engine running in neutral, it would tend to make the rear wheels turn.
If the motor cranks with the selector in neutral, your push buttons are
probably adjusted ok.

Maybe I should have mentioned that we are starting the car from under the
hood. The ignition switch is not working at this time, so wouldn't that
bypass the saftey switch, or would it still interfer with the starting
procedure?
We are using a wire from the coil to the positive post of the battery, and
arcing the two terminals on the solenoid to start her. Cranks right up,
but
still tries to turn the driveshaft. Wasn't doing that before I messed
with
the selector buttons. I was wondering if it would start in gear like
that.
Maybe you are right, it is just turning the driveshaft while in nuetral
due
to torque from the tranny. If hooked back up, the tranny probably
wouldn't
have enough torqe to make the shaft turn?? I will have to try cranking it
with the other selectors pushed in to see if it will do it.

Subject: 300-G Story ????????
Hello over there.....
Here in Sweden, the cold weather, snow, darkness and depression is over
us..... so what would be better
than a good story to ligthing up the head with.... and I want YOU guys,
to tell me the story of the seven cars.
I remember a few years ago, on this mail-list, some of you guys talked
about seven 300-G convertibles ordered
on the same time from the same dealer, delivered on the same truck. I
saw in the rooster that my car is manufactured in the middle of seven
cars on row so it could be fun to hear the full story....
Best regards from your friend in Sweden.....

Is this possibly Kenneth Linder of Holdredge, Nebraska?
I don't remember if convertivbles, though. Mr. Linder was a dealer who
was
told the "G" was end of the line, so he ordered a bunch. Kept one with a
few miles on it until his death in late 70's. Interesting guy, I got
pictures in '76.

Subject: Selector buttons
OK, tonight I was able to get the wires to the igintion switch hooked
back
up. NOW the car will start with the key in the switch and the neutral
button pushed. (At least until I broke the wires loose from the push
button
selector, they are only crimped to the metal casing that houses the
starter
button. Is it ok to sodder these wires in place instead of crimping
them?)
Remember, all I see is a bundle of wires hanging down as there is no dash
in
the car at the moment. The wires are still hooked up to their accesory
pods. Also got headlights/tail lights working again. However, still
starts
and the driveshaft still turns. I am not good at this electrical stuff,
worse part of the car to me!! Maybe it is just the torque from the engine
making it turn, but it seems to want to turn pretty good. Also, two white
wires came loose from a circular piece that is on the side of the selector
housing. Seems that only one of the buttons works the bar that turns this
item on and off, possible reverse. Are they the back up light wires?
They
were soddered on. Will resodder tomorrow. Just curious as to what they
might be for. Shop manual is confusing to say the least with these wires
and some of the colors.
Thanks,
Dean
