A 61 with Hydramatic is a pretty rare combo. Put the Trans in R for Park. I guess you didn't catch that earlier. Those Hydra's are pretty tough transmissions. That's why they used them in Dragsters for a long time. They require a bit of adjustment but that's what they make manuals for. I'm looking forward to seeing yours running.
"It incorporated a parking pawl when the selector was placed in reverse with the engine off, although there was no separate Park position." from Wikipedia
