My wing leveler was disabled because it was veering to the left a little. I am willing to deal with that a little and it was probably a vacuum leak. Does anyone have the parts to make this an autopilot? The grim Reeper has the servos (Alan), but it sure would be nice to track a heading, ALT hold would be wonderful as well. Someone please help me!

The '65, '66' and '67's each had a slightly different system. Some used a remote gyro, others a panel mount, still others an electrical switch to turn the system on and off. So, a little better description, a year, a serial number, even a pic from the parts manual.  I had a '65 C with the remote gyro which has a bias lever on the gyro's base. In the radio bay, someone must have bumped that lever at some point causing a left turn that could not be trimmed out.  Brittle cracked tubing, sticky pilot valves, bad gyros, leaking actuator boots, all could cause the problem. All these are repairable. Well, maybe not the leaking boots...someday.
