I put a Holley 500 2 barrel on my ford 360 about 25 years ago. It ran good, but needed jetted WAY down. They are jetted super rich and do not have ported vacuum for the dist. I put the stock motorcraft back on when I sold the truck. I got the carb out a while back and have been looking to stick...

Nice car. That rear bumper is certainly bent just left of license plate. Some of the trim is askew in the rear, but there likely isn’t anything seriously wrong. I would just be sure to check that closely in person. Travis..

Just a point of clarification, this car does not have a blower (supercharger). It simply has a carb hat/scoop with butterflies. While this scoop was common on cars with blowers, it can be used on any carb’d engine. Travis..

In my experience, leaf springs are pretty easy to modify and get good results. I’ve messed with many leaf springs on a number of 4x4s, and on my old mopars when I used to daily drive them. You can cold beat some arch back into them with good results. You need to disassemble them and beat each...

What are the details of your pedal and clutch hydraulics? Travis..

Great color, I had a 65 New Yorker in that color. Travis..

Do those emblems have cast studs with stamped nuts holding them on? Does the headliner need to be pulled back to get at the back of them? The emblems on my 66 could use a freshening, but the headliner has already been replaced. My car is tucked away so I can’t look at it so I was just curious...

Very cool, I kinda have a thing for 57 fords. In the late 70s/early 80s my dad’s boss had a half dozen or more 57 fords out behind their shop. He had a thing for 2 door ranch wagons and rancheros. He had a really nicely restored 57 ranchero with a Paxton supercharged 312 in it. He also built...

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..
