Time for service. The grease seems to dry out after 58 years. Just like us! There are several vendors available that rebuild instruments. Not cheap but, you will only have it done one time. Mike

Good to hear from you MO (Steve?). Mike from 62 to 65 list

I had to improvise on my 65 Belvedere. My washers were leather and I used rubber and hose or plastic tubing for bolt isolation. Mopar liked to use leather is the old days! Starter brake washers, glass isolation, pinion and wheel seals. Am I missing any other uses? Mike

Don't forget to check the concentricity of the bell to the crank centerline! Mike

I should have a AVS bought, so I think I'm good. Working with a OEM manifold so the TQ would not fit. It would probably be a better carb for power but this will be a cruiser/show car. Mike

Perhaps you need professional help to feel comfortable? Mike

I think it will hold up, provided your traction is limited. With slicks it would be wise to install a bolt-in sprag and a billet front clutch retainer. Mike

Those clips look like the ones on my 65 Belvedere. I modified the clips and installed nut serts and 10-32 screws to retain them. Mike

No mention of Indy heads? Mike

My wagon weighed 3580 before I took out about 30#s. Aluminum heads, water pump and housing, 3" exhaust w/c.o.s, GV OD, 727, 8 3/4 w/SG, Caltrac mono leafs and bars, plastic fuel cell, no interior behind bucket seats, no wiper system, glass hood, steel rear wheels. Mike

Where is the secondary air door? Air Valve Secondary. Mike

Thanks for trying! Mike

Technically, it's for a 4 speed 69 RR. Looking for options here. Thanks. Mike

I just clicked on the link and the address and phone came up? Mike

My motor has one connector with a red and a yellow and a second with 2 blue wires (I think as the colors are faded). Variable speed wipers. Mike
