My 65 S ran so good after I changed the dual points and 8 plugs. I would have kept it bone stick if it were not for the 273 losing a rod bearing and killing the crank. Something about the dull glow of the dash bulbs and turning that key of that big old slow Chrysler starter ..waaa waaa waaah vroom! Carter idled like sitting in an easy chair. Drop it in drive: the RPMs didn't even move and you were on your way. Power steering with your fingertips on the 3 spoke wheel. Everything seemed so effortless....only thing lacking was the bench seat for the girl to sit next to you as it had factory buckets. Mash the gas and break the bias plys loose then get a chirp going into second. Let off and your back to cruising. Yep, original times lost. Can get most of that back cept the long gone cable shift 904 and factory console as well as that 273/4 block that I kicked off the back of my work truck in a field somewhere in 1995....as everyone said, "should have kept it that way". I went back to look for that block 4 years later but there was a 100,000 square foot distribution warehouse built on that plot.
