Well finally did the bench test. The motor runs great.. no problems.. So I guess this leaves me with a switch problem.

The rain here just wont stop and the car is not garaged because its 6 different colors :) and parked at my dads house (45 min away - and the car is my daily driver currently). My dad went out last night to try some T/Sing and says the wiper switch just seems like it has no life left in it (as...

Last weekend the clock and wipers worked fine. then today it was sprinkling and I had no wipers and I also noticed I no longer had the ticking sound of the clock working. I checked the fuses with a multi meter and they are all fine.. The car has only been mine for about 4 months (if I remember...

Rgr all.. thanks everyone.. we went ahead and put the heads on... Jake

Nope.. its on both sides of the gasket and both side of the block.. The gasket is completely blocking off the large water jacket at the top of the block..... it was easier for me to take the picture of the from of the block.. but its blocking off the large water port in the rear of the block...

So I ordered head gaskets for my 67 belvedere 318 and they arrived last night. they don't match. no matter how I try and align them they block off the large water ports for the head.. Do I not have a 66 block.. is there a difference? also no matter how I try and align them, they cover 2 of...

thanks all. Will start calling these folks Jake

sorry bout that.. 1966 Belvedere LA318.. From everything I have been able to look up on the car.. it was orig a LA318... it also appears to be the original engine.. again as far as I can tell from researching it. But at some point some one put a 4bbl cast iron intake manifold on it, so since...

Well looks like my dad was right.. blown head gasket.. so its apart. I am not really doing anything performance wise "Currently" to my belvedere, but since the intake manifold weights a bunch.. looks nasty in the water area and pretty much everywhere else not to mention it is obviously not the...

Appreciate it.. will do. Jake

First off.. sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot, just didn't know where the right spot was. Looking for a transmission builder in the San Diego area. The 6 shops I have called so far do not seem to be interested in rebuilding a transmission I bring in (what they have been calling a bench...

440. Thanks for everything.. today.. Installed a new voltage regulator.. (No change).. cleaned every connector on the bulkhead..Changed the (for some reason black wire going to the positive side from the relay from a 14ga to a 10g a red wire... My dad thought maybe we have a ground issue (he's...

Colorado Dave, Reading the heck out of posts on this site trying to figure out my issue I remember somewhere in one of the posts 440 saying that he was a Navy Electronics Technician in the 60's and was helping a friend of his on Miramar (Back when the Navy TOP GUN was there/before it became a...

440. Again thanks for the assist. Since you are nice enough to provide assistance, I don't want to leave you hanging and not respond to you. I am back on base (Point Loma) in my barracks room and my Dad is on travel to Port Hueneme (Navy Security Inspector) so we won't be able to conduct...

440. Installed new alternator (Square back) and ground the other FLD to the alternator. No change. Everything is the same. I did get the voltage regulator for the same year as the alternator. But have not hooked it up yet. Additional stuff: We went through very ground we could find under the...
