Your car appears to have the black and white interior like mine. I’ve never been a fan of black n white interiors, but the interiors in these cars are very stylish. Travis..

Interesting, everything I’ve seen says the base 300 engine in 66 was the 325 horse 383. Curious. Travis..

My 325 horse 4 barrel 383 in 66 had that single snorkel, but it also has single exhaust. Was there a dual exhaust 383 available in these cars, or just the high output 413-440 cars got duals? I know that the small diameter black unsilenced air cleaner would be right on this 65, but I think they...

That air cleaner is I’m guessing for a 383? It’s the same that came on my 383 powered 66 300. This car should have the small diameter round unsilenced unit since it’s a 413, correct?? Travis..

Vary nice looking 300, do you belong to capital city mopars? I have been a member off and on since it was formed around ‘93, until I moved to Idaho. My 66 300 is actually on the show shirt from 6 or so years back. My car also belonged to my dad. Travis..

Nice looking, but I’m partial to 2 door slabs. What size wheels and tires since you brought it up? Travis..

Is the accelerator pump squirting? It needs to put out a solid stream of fuel to run right and not bog on throttle tip in. Travis..

I’m sure that just like everything else, it depends on brand, country of origin, and likely when they were made to get good ones. Over the years I had always heard that they were drag race only, not intended for the side loads that street use exerts on the bearing. I headed that advise and never...

Those wheels likely have 6.5” or so of backspace. Even if they bolt on, they will look silly and likely rub on various suspension and body parts as the suspension and steering cycles. @Snotty. Those Shelby wheels are awesome units. My bro had a set, they are WAY lighter than any other aluminum...

Look for a YouTube vid from Chris birdsong on his junkerup channel. He shows a green bearing taken apart. There aren’t many bearings in there and they aren’t very big. It may be a newer cheaper quality bearing or who knows, but it looks like a rapid failure point to me. I wouldn’t use them. The...

When searching, don’t include 360 in your search since that engine wasn’t out until the early 70’s. Use LA engine or even try 273 as I think Plymouth offered them in a fury in 66?? A 318 in 66 would have been the A engine (polysphere) as you know so that won’t bring the results you want. Just...

That cam isn’t going to be what you want. Don’t buy a cam because it’s what you can get this minute, order the right cam and wait a couple of days. For the same money you can get the right cam and lifters for what you’re trying to do. Comp has voodoo or extreme energy kits with duration around...

Engine stand looks fine to me, 4 wheels on them is a fairly recent development. If you are keeping it full on cruiser, find a cam that will work with a heavy car with stock low stall torque converter. Maybe even one aimed at 4x4 trucks. Go back and re-read my long post on the previous page...

Are you running points, or electronic distributor? If points, file and set the gap. Travis..

I’m interested to know how far down in the hole those are at tdc? I checked, and I see the stealth heads are closed chamber at about 80ccs which is what I understand the stock 516s are. I could have sworn the stealths were open chamber. I’m curious where your compression is, and will be...
