68 transmission problem
I finally got my engine going after car was sitting for 2o years. But now I cant get the tranny to shift into gear when the car is running. With the engine off I can shift the car through the gears (4 speed manual) but not when its running. It was operating properly way back when it was put into storage. Any ideas on this and solutions?

Your clutch is probably not disengaging. If you're lucky it may just be the z bar linkage. But the disk could also be stuck to the flywheel.
Try this, engine off, put the car gear, push the clutch in, see if you can push the car.
