No 'D' with floor shifter???

[baullz]

Alright I finally am getting my '69 back together and when I try to put the car in 'D' (floor shift, 727, ) it just stays in neutral.  I know that Drive and neutral share the same detent but where ever I have the shifter lever in that detent it just stays in neutral. 

Park, Reverse, 2 and 1 positions work fine is something just not adjusted properly or is something else out of whack??

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

If the car will move forward from a standstill in 1 but not in D the sprag has failed.

What does the car do if you place the shifter in 2 and try to accelerate from a standstill?

Well I think I found the problem after closer inspection it just seems that the linkage is not adjusted properly because each gear is pushed back one spot as in I am in reverse when Im in the neutral/drive detent.

So is that simply a linkage adjustment or is it something else??

linkage adjustment OR wrong lever.  what type of lever do you have on your transmission?

I cant really get under there to see it to easily with the exhaust and no way to lift it up but I think you might be right on the wrong level.  It feels like its pretty straight and by looking at the service manual it should have when with a bend in it almost like an 'L' shape bracket so that is more then likely my problem.
