My gawd. I'd be a nervous wreck leaving the garage.
 
Here's a question for anybody who will listen. How do I change the license plate light bulb? Sure,

I can muscle my way and maybe break something. I thought, maybe someone else has had the same issue. from the outside of the trunk are two(2) screws. but as the picture shows, I'm not sure they come out. Or do I go inside the trunk and pull the socket? any help will be appreciated.

Hi Mike. Definitely from other side, see tabs? Wiggle it back & forth a bit & it'll pop out.

Likely accessed by pulling license plate down, not trunk.

HaHaHa, Thanks. That just goes to show my limited brain power. I saw this and was going to pull it out, but thought better of it. Someone with more skill and ability needs this car.

Would've thought Plymouth would be same a Dodge, but no. Plymouth actually has 2 lights in trunk. Always learning something new.

I had this 1965 starter rebuilt , It was done with high torque components. cost me $125.00 for total rebuild. not bad, I thought.

new valley pan gasket, My original has a hole, I guess from mice urine from the years of storage?. My "survivor" orange heater hose, I got NOS hose.

1965 383/330hp history question. When did the hp engines get a windage tray? Would that be a simple R/R (remove & replace). would the oil pick-up tube be the same length because of extra gasket?

Believe they started putting in the windage tray on 383's beginning with the 1968 H codes, at least on B-bodies. Not a terribly difficult job but IMHO there would be no noticeable performance difference in your application. The small pickup height difference would be of no consequence.

Funny, my 65 had a similar valley pan hole, believe it may have been a chipmunk due to all the acorns.
