Headlight power source with relays.

So Tracing wiring I learned my dad had rewired the headlights of the Polara. Not surprised, we’re both electrical minded people.
What I thought curious is that the 2 relays and fuses (high&low) are both mounted right under the battery on the left front of the engine compartment.
The power wires both wrap 3/4 of the entire area and look to have been tied directly into the alternator post.

Why there? all that extra wire, isn’t it about equivalent to tying it straight to the battery…

65 Polara 4 speed clutch fork boot?????

Anyone know where I can get one and a part number? I am not finding good details online.

This is the one that goes on the underside where the clutch fork exits the bellhousing.

Anyone here have contact info for whomever runs the mymopar.com site?

I have a few of the FSM’s they are missing and might just have a way to digitize them so everyone can benefit.

Carter Carb 3855 vs 3856

Anyone know the difference and if I can get away using a 3856?
The carb for dad’s car is missing. I found a 3856, which is 65 383 Auto trans, this one is a 4 speed, so it should have a 3855.

The debate is whether I rebuild the 3856 to install, or just go buy a new Edelbrock carb and not mess with it.
