The B/RB Block that is the 413/440 is the same. Earlier years are likely not much different, either, but my hands-on spans 60-73. You'll find that learning your 1960 engine compartment is essentially learning the 61-75 cars with small jumps in accessory complexity each year, but similar if not identical architecture in the engines. If you have not redone your battery cables, especially the ground and the hot wire that goes to the starter, you'd be ahead if you did those too, cleaning all contacts while in there with contact cleaner and a wire brush as you go. You're there already, and they are interdependent, after all. A poor connection can make your starter motor that much harder to operate, and things will get hot due to the increased resistance. -K ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
