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...

May have spoke too soon when I posted this.

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

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...

Hope you have better luck with that carter fuel pump than I did, we ate 4 of them up before moving the pump inside the fuel tank, not only are they cheaper they work better and stay cooler. Never figured out what the problem was but inline fuel pump never worked for me....Kieth

Thanks for the headsup. It's been working okay so far, but if it fails we will change to the in-tank pump.

Hey Kieth... we haven't had any problems with the inline pump...other than it being a little noisy. I was just wondering, when you went to an in-tank pump, was it in the stock behind the seat tank?
