Re: '65 426 wedge

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The air cleaner, valve covers, breather and PCV cover were all chrome on a 
426 wedge. Battery cables were black. Max Wedges covers were orange no 
matter what year. I will send a very clear photo of a highly detailed 426 in 
a 64 Savoy for you to look at. The only difference in on the street wedge 
engines was the throttle cable bracket. It was different for a 4 speed then 
an auto. Everything else was the same and I never found any difference 
between 64 and 65 neither. Akron Don would know better , but I am pretty 
sure.
