Re: '65 426 wedge

[Donnie Schanz Jr <dcs426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Don. Trust me on the throttle cable bracket. Junkman Jerry out of 
Florida sold me a mint condition one for my 65 that was for a 4 
speed...$175.00!!!!!!!! The automatic brackets were $85 bucks. I do not 
think there is another to be had. I looked for years to find one and came up 
empty. I too would assume the 361 and 383 would work.

On another note.The guy backed out of buying my 65, so I guess it is still a 
future project. I really would have been sad to see it go.

The other Don is correct. All that stuff is chrome. Note that the air 
cleaner
is the unsilenced unit which means no snorkel and the carb plate is small so 
as
to allow the air to come in from the bottom of the air cleaner unit (under 
the
cover).

Good catch on the throttle cable bracket. That would seem to be true for a 
361
and 383, also. Others?
