Winter? I live in california. About all I need is a defroster to deal with

One more little thing. The rubber vacuum manifold on the servo is
retained by a small screw that's kind of hard to see. If you remove
the manifold you'll have better access to check the condition of the
small rubber vacuum connectors to the vacuum lines.

Brunnhilde has the same problem. It doesn't really get cold enough here
to worry much about heat, the defrost warms things up when needed, so I
have not spent much time on this (when it's high 90s, its definitely not
an issue). I will be interested to see what sorts out with your car

independent of thumb wheel position.
What happens if you hit defrost after starting the car, then wait 10 seco
IIRC, it should also move *from* the park position when you turn the
key on before starting. I've posted some servo related diagnostic
