GM had window cranks for some vent windows, iirc later, 70s (?), larger Mopars too!

Cragar: The Wheel People, go somewhere else for lug nuts and washers.

The VIN in the add is for a Fastback 383 '67, just don't see a pic of it. BH29H7 I like it, you put on it what you can find/afford and move on. 45k I want the 4th white letter though.

Got any long 62s in red?

Only 67 383 cars had the turn downs with the half moon cutouts in the lower valance, no tips.

I've done that on every car I've owned, this truck is new to me a few months ago. I'm doing some of the wiring over, installed both a ground and positive hub today, as well as a bigger ground cable, separate ground wires for ECU, starter relay, a ground wire all the way to the rear taillights...

Local guy has a solid 67 fastback with a 318 4 speed for under 15k. Imo a reasonable price in these here parts.

I have not been pumping the gas pedal at all. It takes 1 pump and it starts right up, since day 1, any day, any weather/temperature. I gave it 1 pump this morning and that was it, even after multiple attempts to start. Came back in the afternoon, I gave a small pump at the carb to make sure it...

I bought a painless 7 circuit box, modern fuses, comes with wire. Iirc, 3 constant power circuits, 4 ignition power. Fuse box fit in the stock location. Incorporated it into my existing harness using factory correct Packard connectors and the stock plastic connectors. Ran 1 wire to the...

Found it multiple times on FABO.

Battery charged overnight, now at 13.18 volts. Cranking it goes to 10.7. It gave a 'I'm gonna start' for a few seconds then nothing. Spark at the coil wire, spark at the plug wire. The Reluctor gap spec is .008>.011, literally, .007 is too loose, .008 fits, .009/.010 fit nicely, .011 is too...

It seems odd the harness has 4 wires, the plug 5 female connectors, and the ECU 5 pins. Does that mean a 4 pin ECU will work as well? I disconnected the 2 wire connector from the harness to the distributor, each end has a long pin on one side. Key in run, I touched the long pin from the harness...

I'm not understanding a few things: I have a 5 pin ECU, the plug has 5 female pins but only 4 wires, why? I have a single ballast resistor, factory appearing harness, is this correct? The biggest hurdle for me is I see no cause and effect, or maybe the reverse, for everything I have checked...

I'll check tomorrow. Ran fine, then nothing, that gap 'shouldn't' have changed, stuff happens. Years ago I had a bad pickup, it was cracked, only when hot it wouldn't start. Start cold, run hot fine, turn it off no start. Let it cool, start fine. Opposite of current issue, but got to check...

I don't think I checked that directly, just the resistor on both sides. What would cause that? My battery isn't fully charged yet, 80%, but that's enough to crank/start it.
