Thanks, I have an aftermarket wheel for now, (I do like yours better) but would like to get back to stock wheel

Its a regular one with the horn ring....I tried using epoxy and doing it myself and well....It's just a big mess so I think I reached the limit of my skills on it and am looking for someone esle that is skilled at restoring these I have the missing center piece that broke off...I was thinking...

Hello, Looking for some advice...the one I have is in pretty bad shape....should I try to find someone to restore it or just try to find another one? Thanks! Steve

It was really easy...I spent more time today fixing all the adjustments I made to my carb and adjusting timing then I did actually installing the coil and Petronix Ignitor II

I also used your trick for the ballast resistor....came out nice...still looks stock, but much better!

All I can say is holy crap! What a difference....all this time I thought I had carb problems because I had some really bad hesitation and couldn't floor it without my car backfiring and almost dying....that is now all gone...best $156 I have spent! I got out there today and got on it....wow...

Wish me luck....I'll be going at it this weekend...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I have decided to go with the Petronix Ignitor II and Flamethrower II. Will I need to bypass the ballast resistor or how can you tell?

Hey Guys, I was reading this post and want to do an electronic conversion for my 65 with a 225. What is the difference between the different Pertronix products and what do you guys recommend. Also, I already have an MSD blaster coil...do you still recommend I buy one from Pertronix?

Just put these on last week!

I bought 65 rear qtr patches from laysons, great product, but also bought 65 fender well patches from classic industries and they seemed to be same quality...I would recommend whichever costs less

Far down on my priority list, but I would be interested in led lights all around.....need to get her back together first!

Great thread!

If you plan to keep it for a long time I say save...if you want to flip it after a couple years...I say see if you can get it running driving without a lot of work....if you don't have to put too much into it...save

very nice!

Nice, whereabouts in Mass are you?

Sounds like you are making some good progress, I can really relate your story, my father in law handed my 65 down to me and I think I have already spent more than it will ever be worth and I haven't even started the interior or serious body work yet..but I plan on passing it down to my kids one...

I bought one from ebay last spring, no issues

Thanks for the offer, I mean really thanks!! But I wont be able to get out there

I know compression is in the 90's so not horrible, but not great. Thanks for all the info guys, a lot to think about.

Looking for some input to make up my mind, Original slant 6 (225) - runs ok, but leaks pretty bad from the rear main and blows a little smoke...brought it to a mechanic...options given to me were 1 -Rebuild just the bottom end for approx. $1.8K 2 - Rebuild entire engine for approx. $3.3K...

congrats on reaching your milestone!!

I also vote for upgrading the single pot master cylinder....I have that on my own priority list as an important to do!

I just got my my 65 vert last October, still a work in progress, 225 slant auto. My father in law had it in his garage for over 30 years

Here's my 65, I just got her a few months ago

Nice Job!
