I have the part with the nipples BUT the electrical tabs are different BUT I think you can make it work. if you look at my rebuild post you’ll see how you can drill out the small tabs that hold that piece in place, replace the damaged piece and install small screws the resecure the piece. It...

These controls are different from 66 and prior. 67 and newer will not necessarily work in your 65. They look the same but the internals are different. I’ll look and see what I have. Can you post a photo of yours, it will help. If I can’t help there is a fellow in Texas who rebuilds them, see one...

The controller I posted looks the same for many different years but beware, they ARE different.

Is this the part you're talking about? If so, I can probably help.

Nice setup. Getting this linkage to work right is a bitch, but seems like you got it.

This is my Poly. The cable is barely long enough but works. What I had to do is invert the small hold down clamp on the bracket for the cable and kickdown. There is a small square slot on the top of the bracket that orients the clamp to the centerline of the engine. I had to reposition the bolt...

Kudos to you and 493 Mike for thinking about this oil galley plug. I wasn’t even aware of it until a Poly friend mentioned it in a recent conversation. Always learning.

After running through all the suggestions here - thank you all so much - and priming the pump while slowly rotating the crank I now have oil to the top. Only 30 lbs of pressure as the drill had limited RPMs but there is oil. Again, I greatly appreciate all the help provided.

That may be my next move.

You’re welcome. And thanks to you. I learn a lot from your posts. That’s why I’m here. So much knowledge.

My big mistake was in not priming the engine when it was out of the car. Last time I’ll do that.

Thanks but unlike the LA 318 the poly heads have the shafts going through sleeves in the heads and the heads have to be removed to remove the shafts

I’ve been turning a 1/4 turn at a time. I plan to make that 1/8 of a turn in case the holes aren’t lining up. 15 minutes, huh?

The block was hot tanked during the rebuild but I don’t recall if the shafts were cleaned. I’m not keen on removing the heads, I’ll keep that as a last resort. But thanks for your thoughts. They’re much appreciated.

If this is the plug you're speaking of, then yes it is there.

This is an excellent point and one I have not addressed. I was going to look into that but was looking for a possibly less invasive solution first. I could remove the plugs and check with the heads in place but to do it properly I would need to remove the heads to remove and properly clean the...

Thanks Mike. Can you be more specific regarding that plug's position. I'm not familiar with that plug. Thanks

You're correct regarding the cam bearing oil holes. And yes, the crank is being rotated while priming. A quarter turn at a time for 2 revolutions.

I'm looking for Poly specific help. My '66 Poly is a fresh build. Never started. Upon priming I am getting no oil to the rockers. I've read specific post here and on other MOPAR sites and studied my FSM. I have gone through all the common check lists so I'm looking for something I may have...

Looks like a great candidate for keeping it original. Fix the mechanics, give it a good cleaning, put some appropriate wheels on it and drive it. I saw a tv show a while back where Jay Leno found an old Duesenberg in a garage just miles from his home. It had been in storage for decades. He...
