Indeed it do

Thanks again for your guidance. I immediately grabbed the carb to verify the landmarks and lo and behold, there is already a blind hole in the throttle body from the bottom in that location. Just a connecting lateral hole and we're in business. Certainly much easier than new carb/manifold and...

I appreciate all the knowledge and insight you've shared...not to mention the time spent. I think I want to keep this carb situation as simple as possible. The 2 barrel and manifold mod is very interesting, but more effort than I want to put in since I'll eventually upgrade. BTW, thanks for...

I'll eventually upgrade the entire intake and exhaust. For now, I'll just putt around looking good....new stuff will go on when she's ultimately "reborn". I'm hoping to share the whole process with everyone.

The number on the tag is 3230S. Ultimately, I'll probably end up replacing the intake and exhaust with Number on the tag is 3230S....not easy to read in person either. Ultimately, I'll rebuild the engine and replace the intake/exhaust with some of Jack Clifford's spicy stuff. For now, I've...

Thank you. Dazzling indeed. Lesson learned.

My 1962 Dodge Lancer project has begun....doing all the little things necessary to fire up and drive a car that has been sitting quietly for many years...waiting for me to love it. My first question is regarding the engine serial number. The guy I bought the car from said it originally had a...

Thanks. They were on it when I bought it...saves me the trouble of buying them. I think the wheels dramatically improve the look and personality of these A bodies. The convertible will get the same upgrade.

Hello everyone! I've been fond of A bodies since I was 17 and rehabbed an old 65 Valiant to be my first car. 170 slant six and zero frills, but a good car, and one of the more unique rides in the high school parking lot (1988). She's long gone, but I've decided to restore another 65...
