Can’t really find a reliable way to decode a 65 – is there a tool or chart out there for reference?

Thank you!

Does anyone have a recommendation for nice hard fuel line for a dual-inlet carb? I am putting a QFT 750 PV in, and want something nice to stick on there. I have perused various auto parts sites (as well as Holley’s site), but open to recommendations

Thanks for any feedback you have!

I can’t find my pitch gage, does anyone know what the thread for the RB block intakes are? I want to run a tap through the holes and dress the threads and clean any crap out of there

I bought a polished Offenhauser 5762 for a 413 RB. Unfortunately turned out to be a 5764 with the model number taped over, for a 383/400.

If anyone has any recommendations for a similar style intake, please let me know ASAP. I have my car torn apart upgrading under the hood and really don’t want to put the painted original intake back. Looking for something to match my Cal Custom valve covers.

Annoying because I need to wipe off the RTV and deal with this later, I covered everything up…

Vintage Intake recommendations please

Found these, pretty neat. Didn’t find the Certicard but maybe I’ll get lucky. Taking the rear seat out is also on the list to find the build sheet. The protective paper stickers are still on the rear belts, I don’t think anyone ever really rode in the back seat.

(The postcard I got separately but put it into the glovebox)

I bought one because I love them, but my car does not have a console. Do the consoles bolt in or did they need to be installed at the factory? I’m tempted to add one and just block out the shifter part, so I can mount the vacuum indicator.

This is probably demented either way, but curious to know what my options are. I love the indicator gauge, so silly but a pretty beautiful part.

If the console is a fool’s errand, I will try and figure out a different mounting solution.

Hello, the lighting in the dash of my 65 is really bad. Hard to see if there is any sort of exterior lighting (headlights, streetlights, the moon lol)

Can I replace these bulbs with LEDs without removing the dash, or does the dash need to come out to get to the backs of the instrument panels? I have seen some beautiful member jobs using EL wire and would consider that also, just want to make sure I’m disassembling the right way

Thank you!
