    Buzzsaw sound?

    Has anyone heard a buzzsaw sound before when trying to start their car? I changed over the intake and carb and was testing out the new firing. I had a couple of dry fires, then got it running pretty smoothly. Was running pretty hot right away so I shut it down. Started it a few minutes later and...

    Replacing the 65 backup light switch is a pain in the ***

    The little hex head bolt at the top left corner of the switch body (holding the top half of the bracket down) is a little bastard to reach 1/4" wrench holding a tiny 1/4 drive 9mm socket was able to reach and work it out without taking the dash apart I didn't bother bolting it back down ha (I...

    Fuel pressure too high?

    My fuel pressure gauge shoots right up to the max of 15psi when the engine is running. Is this worrisome? Stock fuel pump (I was fixing the fuel line, it is leaking on one side, so playing with the fit and tightness to get it right and noticed the pressure)

    Hmm, where do these holes go?

    These half-circle holes in either side of the engine. They are still exposed with the intake installed. If I lose a washer down one of these holes, how screwed am I?

    Ignition coil placement

    Has anyone here used a non-stock set of valve covers? Where do you prefer to re-home the coil? I'm wondering if it would work on the passenger side panel in the engine bay, using a longer spark cable and lengthening the wires. Any thoughts, opinions, or photos would be appreciated. Thank you...

    Valve cover breathers, smaller than 1 inch??

    I have a set of old Cal Custom valve covers, they are sweet. Unluckily, they have a smaller than modern standard hole, 1" diameter. Are there any valve cover grommets that fit 1" and valve cover breathers with PCV hose hookups that will fit this? I can find plenty of 1-1/4" and 1" neck...

    Vacuum hose, another dumb question

    Where does this little black hose go inside the ca? It is hooked up to the two-pronged vacuum fitting on the intake manifold. Larger hose goes to a brake booster? Not sure where the little one goes, I can't follow it without dismantling most of the dash apparently Thanks for any guidance!

    Coolant lines

    Hello, any issues with the stock pump pushing through longer lines? I want to move the lines away from the engine out to the wheel well for decluttering the engine. Let me know if there's an issue with adding another foot or two. Also, which port on the firewall goes to which port on the pump...

    65 Hi-Beam wiring

    Hello, I am working on swapping out my original headlights for some modern brighter lights with headlamps and hi-beams in one sealed unit. Is there a diagram somewhere on how the hi-beam toggle works? I see the brights hang off the same pigtail as the headlamps, but I'm not sure what happens to...

    Removing the headlights on a 65

    Is there a trick to removing the glass and bezels to loosen up the headlights? Mine are still the original headlights and the frame won't really budge with the screws out... I don't want to break anything, does anyone have tips on removing these?

    Vintage Intake recommendations please

    I bought a polished Offenhauser 5762 for a 413 RB. Unfortunately turned out to be a 5764 with the model number taped over, for a 383/400. If anyone has any recommendations for a similar style intake, please let me know ASAP. I have my car torn apart upgrading under the hood and really don't...

    Found these cards in my dash

    Found these, pretty neat. Didn't find the Certicard but maybe I'll get lucky. Taking the rear seat out is also on the list to find the build sheet. The protective paper stickers are still on the rear belts, I don't think anyone ever really rode in the back seat. (The postcard I got separately...

    Performance Indicator placement

    I bought one because I love them, but my car does not have a console. Do the consoles bolt in or did they need to be installed at the factory? I'm tempted to add one and just block out the shifter part, so I can mount the vacuum indicator. This is probably demented either way, but curious to...

    Possible to replace panel bulbs without removing dash

    Hello, the lighting in the dash of my 65 is really bad. Hard to see if there is any sort of exterior lighting (headlights, streetlights, the moon lol) Can I replace these bulbs with LEDs without removing the dash, or does the dash need to come out to get to the backs of the instrument panels? I...
