1966 Dart GT Slant 6

Put the batter on last night and started the car up. It turned over fairly easily but then I started hearing a squeal/whine from the power steering pump. I got out to check it and saw fluid spraying all over the engine bay. The return hose split on both ends at the hose clamps. I meant to buy a new hose anyhow but forgot about it in all of the other stuff. Pulled the hose off and went to the parts store. Clerk just gave me a new hose for free. Woo-who. Got home and installed it no problem. Think I need to tighten the clamp at the pump as I am getting a decent drip from around that area.

With that taken care of I did a couple of rolls back and fourth to check the brakes. All in all they felt pretty darn good. Maybe a little light, but usable. I was more worried about them being too hard. Since that went ok I figured it was time to take it around the block.

Everything seemed to be going so well. I checked the trans fluid before pulling away and it was low. While I was filling it I could hear that the idle was getting lower and lower. Looks like the carb needs another adjustment. Man I hate this carb.

I started going down the street and noticed first gear felt great but then it wouldn't shift into second. It tried but then seemed to slip back into first. Only guess at this point is that there is still not enough fluid in all of the areas so it isn't shifting right. I turned around and after a few stalls I got it back into the driveway. Going to try and leave a little early from work today so that I can find that PS leak and figure out why the trans is being weird.
