Uphill Driving
I have a very steep, long driveway. Any tips for getting more power? Car is in first gear, but goes very slow.

Re: Uphill Driving
Perhaps a rebuilt carb??? With that, you might get more power and smoother acceleration that could allow you to get into second gear.

Re: Uphill Driving
Not sure exaxtly what your concern is, but what's wrong with slow? That's what 1st gear does and that's exactly what it's for.

Re: Uphill Driving
Have you tried shifting to second gear? Do you do 15 mph or more up the driveway in your modern car?
