Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
The truck's running "okay", but we still need to work some bugs out. The junkyard distributor that we are currently running seems to be the culprit. She starts and runs fine, but at cruise speeds you can feel it kind of pulsating. Carlos said it looked a little worn when we dropped it in. So I'll be ordering a new one soon... I'm also going to find another, bigger fuel filter to run as the one that's in there now seems to be a little small for the new, higher pressure system...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Thanks guys!
Here's some bling that needs to be installed. I bought these a few years back from a member that I think is currently banned. They've been up on the shelf since. Anyhow, big thanks again to my friend Danny A (DAN66) for polishing them up and re-doing the black paint. Top notch work! I'll have those 'thingys' on very soon...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
Got the new distributor in yesterday. Timed and tuned. Also installed a larger, fuel injection type fuel filter.
Starts on a dime! Runs beautifully...

We've spent the last few day chasing bugs. I think we finally have success. Carlos adjusted the timing, we converted to an internally regulated alternator, and plumbed in and wired the o2 sensor. It seems to be running pretty good now. I'll give it a few days before I give it the final  JC62

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.
It's been a while since I've posted on here.
Done a few things to the '65. She purchased a new Champion aluminum radiator from here on the forums and I got that installed. We've also been messing with the TBI issues trying to get that right. Ended up ditching the Holley throttle body and replacing it with a stock one from a '95 350... along with another MAP sensor. It's been running perfect. Hopefully it stays good...
