Back in the 89's, I put new rear leaf springs on my 65 Sport Fury that were for a 68/69 Road Runner. They had the exact same measurements. Jus sayin.....

I don't believe anyone is managing the list.

Make that TWO welcome aboards from Virginia.

Using an infrared temp gun, compare the temps of the exhaust manifolds at each exhaust port. If one is different than the rest, that cylinder is likely misfiring. You can also use a squirt gun and squirt water at each port, a 'normal' firing cylinder will immediately vaporize, a dead cylinder...

Honestly, if the old distributor is toast (and engine is out of the vehicle), I would just get a strap wrench or a pipe wrench and twist the housing back and forth until it breaks free and comes out. Make certain you get the distributor mount/adjusting plate from the old one as not all...

The gear is plastic (nylon) and will break but is easily replaceable. Picture of what you are working with would be helpful.

FYI, 65 and 66 bezels are slightly different. Those are 66. The tringle shaped area between the light holes would be a cross hatch pattern fpr a 65 (to match the grille). But the hood trim is the same between the two years. Your pieces look good, though. jus sayin

Head Gasket jus' sayin'.........

Sounds likely that it is a blown head gasket. Check the oil and plugs for signs of water. A compression test should narrow down where the problem is.

I am getting the stupid things too. They appear to pop up inside posts. Quite annoying.

Yes, that block has the needed mounting pads. You will just need to drill and tap them.

Need to see a shot of the front of the 440 block. Specifically, the driver side front corner. The 65 Fury has a unique, one year only, motor mount. Not all RB blocks will have the correct mounting pads.

The one on the far right is really scary. jus sayin.....

It's five o'clock everywhere.... RIP Jimmy, you'll be missed but your tunes will keep the memory alive.
