could be a vacuum leak. check all your hoses for cracks going to the carburetor. also pinch off the big hose going to your vaccuum brake booster with a vise grip. could be your booster has a ruptured diaphram. if it doesn't seem like a fuel/vacuum problem, it may be a shorted wire in your steering column. is your car column shift?

As long as the bolt pattern is the same and the spacing is the same (4.75") you can swap rims. If you have 14" steel rims you can put 15 or 16" Aluminum rims on but do all 4 other wise the speedo will be off. Also front wheel drive wheels are not the same as rear wheel drive. So put the right ones on.

over-drive... take it its an auto On the gear selector handle, there is a button. Pushing that button will turn the Over drive off (light is on) or turn it on (light is off). This allows it to leave 3rd gear, and will put less wear on the engine and transmission at a speed of about 45 or higher.
