(Dear von hench no I have no part number and no catalog also. I have to go to the dealer several miles away and wait till the right guy is on duty and then ask to see it and look up my parts. I ask them to order me a catalog but he says they are in short supply. I have to take my V 10 in next week for the updates (Why they would bother on a 11 year old truck with 238000 km is beyond me but it is free to me so I will go.)

The cooling fan with the Moroso pump drive is also my favourite and i use the Auto switch installed in the pump to be sure I dont forget. The gains are undenialble. We used to charge the battery between rounds and I had read the car would run faster with an alternator but I have watched several friends and engine customers follow the leader on this trend. So far I have seen no concrete gains but I guess with enough electronics on board it is possible. (Like no one went from 11.0 too 10.95 secs) The original parisitic fan loss tests were done by jaquar by the way.

I put in new points and condensor and got the points gapped at .017 just like my book said. I put the distributor back in, wired it all up according to the manual, plug wires in the SUPPOSEDLY correct holes as per manual diagram . RUNS LIKE CRAP, have to way advance it to get it to start and stay running, then when u hit the gas a big fall on its nose then takes of poorly. When i move the plug wires on the cap one notch counterclockwise ( i.e.- 8 goes to 1 hole, 4 goes to 8 hole, etc.) it fires up beautifully and runs great with lots of power. So one would say - "Silly Neal, the distributor driveshaft is in a tooth off", right ? Wrong- I checked it twice, it points just exactly where my book says it should, slot pointing at first forward intake manifold bolt on drivers side over cylinder #1 . What the heck is going on?

I'm not an experienced drag racer (though I'd like to be), and I'd like to get a little insight into some of the 'goodies' it has.=20 I'm trying to make a little more street-friendly, but I plan to take it to the track sometimes. 1. It has Barry Grant electric fuel pump. The fuel pump is connected to the windshield wiper switch, which is tied to the ignition. Is there a reason I wouldn't always keep the fuel pump on? Or, am I able to drive on the street without it and get better mileage? 2. It has an electric radiator fan on it's own switch, which is NOT tied to the ignition. If I forget to switch it off, I kill the battery. Is there a reason not to connect it the ignition and have it always on? 3. It's a shifted-automatic with a 727 torqueflite and Hurst slap-stick shifter. There's a button on the shifter nob that I haven't figured out yet what it does. Maybe a line-lock? Are there any techniques/dangers for street driving I should be aware of? It seems pretty straight-forward; like driving a stick without the foot pedal. When I slow down to stop and I'm in third, I'm tending to slow all the way down to almost stop with the brake; I'm not down-shifting.

Earl http://www.slantsix.org/articles/4-speeds/ODA833fourspeed1.htm OK, I need to ask u guys something. A year ago i bought a big block a-833 setup from a 71 challenger: It is a complete setup, from pedals ,z-bar, clutch arm, brand new hump, brand new pistol grip, etc. I spent a goodly sum on it. I was going to put it in my 71 charger that i had at the time. Well, i got rid of the charger and all of my Charger stuff this spring ( yeah same old story, too many projects, not enuf time, KISS, keep it simple stupid , blah,blah blah) so heres the problem: I got this setup sitting in the corner of my shop. I guess my question is will this setup swap into any other Mopars. ( like earlier B-bodies or an A-body) .Or am I screwed.

It mimicks the transparent "anodized aluminum" colors used on many of the emblems and badges on my '64 Sport Fury. It looks so much better than the regular paint and it's a spray -- so you have no brush marks. Just clean the metal, mask off the area and spray a thin coat. It is transparent color with very bright red and blue hues. About $7-$9 per spray can -- found it at my local auto paint store. The paint is made by Dupli¥Color, named MetalCast "anodized color effect" _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

(not very common) that said, if your fuel lines are not running through a mechanical pump, you will need to run the pump to keep the engine fed. usually this is hooked to the key so when the car is off, the pump is off, the wiper switch was just an available switch already mounted in the car. (sometimes a theft deterrant) #2, the fan is wired so after you shut the car off, you can keep the fan on to cool the radiator, this is often coupled with an electric water pump, which keeps the cooled water running through the block. #3, caution!!!, do not do your burnouts in 1st gear!!! either start in first and shift right away or start in 2nd when burning out. if you downshift the trans from drive to 2nd it will downshift!!!, no different than downshifting a 4-speed car. (picture your head hitting the windsheild) the manual auto usually has a feature which allows you to downshift from second through first, directly into neutral, that is, it allows you to shift into first, without actually down shifting the trans into first, you will get used to down shifting from drive to 2nd and sliding it through 1st and into nuetral when you stop, like putting a 4 speed into nuetral at stops. (it is a manual trans)nuetral to first locks it back into 1st. as far as the manual valve body goes, if you don't like it, you can easily replace it with a normal valve body. the manual does not lose any shifting time like a normal trans, that is its only purpose. #3b,you should be able to see a line lock mechanism in your brakelines, under the hood. if there is no line lock, you may have a transbrake. usually you have to hold the button to make the car backup, so it is likely a linelock. sounds like a well set-up car, good luck at the track!! tom 65 satellite --- Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I recently bought a '65 Belvedere that is set up as > a drag car with a > 383.

The > car does have a build tag. This is an expensive > restored car so any help would be appreciated While the fender tag should reflect the engine correctly, it is very important to verify the fender tag actually belongs to that car! The "So number" on the tag will be stamped into the radiator core support. The number on the core support starts with a digit that describes the manufacturing plant, and then it continues with the SO#. On my 64 Dart the number is on top of the core support, under what was once the coolant information sticker. On my 63 330 (b-body), its on the side of the core support that faces the engine bay (driver's side), as it is on my 66 Coronet. if this guy did a full restoration, he ought to be familiar with number. If he applied so much paint that its not readable and he isn't happy sanding the paint down to be able to read the number, hopefully he can produce some pre-paint process pictures that would convince you that the fender tag matches the car. Also, be aware that fender tag are reproduced, sometimes with incorrect data.... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2005 19:26:31 +0000 From: <ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: 65 Belvedere - electric fan, fuel pump, etc. I wouldn't advise starting in 2nd gear with a manual shift auto trans.

The passenger side hits about an inch before the driver's side does. There seems some adjustment to the pistons and that's it, I think. (smoke bellowing out my ears) It seems to be getting worse so maybe a piston seal is going? Anybody know about these? It's a 65 Belv2. Also- Does anyone know if anyone (I sound like Jackie Gleason here) makes the plastic inserts that the convertible top pins slide into when the top comes in contact with the top of the windshield? There's a hole that recieves the pin and it has a plastic sleeve in it. My "sleeves" are cracked. Thanks boys and girls.

I'm only pulling the engine so it looks to me that the engine can be lifted (with a cherry picker) and moved forward and up over the rad support. I have always removed the hood in the past but I just had the car painted nad really do not want to pull the hood. Can it be done? Thanks, K. Kevin R.

There are 17 distributors in the US. You orders through them and TTI ships it to you. For your 63 Vert the complete 3" Max Wedge system with mufflers is Part No. B30MAX-S6365. Without mufflers is B30MAX-NM6365 They will fit those "Big Swoppy Exhaust Manifolds". I have a list of all the distributors, Mancini Racing is one of them.
