go with the promaxx heads if you are in the budget of the 440 source, better machine work and more valve spring options to fit your cam if you contact them
I know these cars very well as I revived one for a good friend of mine.
The majority of them were 383 4bbl since it was more of an upscale model from the Windsor
Only 2838 Canadian 4dr 300 sedans were built at the Windsor plant, and were not available in America.
1966 was the last model year...
This car is still for sale:

Price is now $16k CAD / $11.5k USD. The ad has 10 pics, most of them useless, no pics under the hood.
There are four 60's 300's for sale (across Canada) currently on kijiji. Three '66 and one '64...

Thanks for the good report.
I thought it looked like a really good deal for a 66 with the 440.
Disgusting that your friend lost the cost of plane tickets and his deposit.
Hopefully he is finding venues to give feedback on this dirtbag.
No, it uses an ignition-based system. Originally it was sent to a processor that was a flat brass-coloured can that sat under the console lid. Now there are reproductions that are digital.
Not a tach drive system.
Mineral spirits is probably pretty safe, too.
My grandpa once told me that kerosene could be used to clean/lube the mechanism of a wind-up clock. Probably would work here as well.
How annoying would it be to rewire it to only turn on in accessory/ignition mode? I've got one of those USB chargers that double as a volt + ammeter and would be nice to not have to pull it out every time the car's off.
Based on googling some car pics, it seems these are for 74-up Imperial and 76-up New Yorker?
But look at the codes and determine for yourselves, please.
1 lens has a sizable chip, 1 housing has a broken edge - damage is at the pointy end.
Smaller lens + housing seems OK.
Price is free, just...
Does the 1965 Monaco use a tach drive in the distributer for the tachometer? I no longer have the same engine. Its a 67 383 2bbl out of a Newport. The tach is not working. I can only see 1 black wire coming out of it. Any thoughts? Do I need to find the correct distributer? Thanks Guys
Rhode Island Wiring sells Packard terminals and insulators, along with other styles, and they might sell the crimper tools now too.
Perhaps other sources sell these too, such as mcmaster-carr.....
