There's a '65 A-body V8 car for sale in Los Angeles area (Canoga Park) for only $2k. Do yourself a favor and get that for a conversion donor rather than the '77 Charger, unless you really want the later 360 drivetrain. A '65 273 car will have all the parts you need to do a much less painful...

Yes, the knob and shaft are one piece with the headlight switch. The wiper knob comes off it's shaft by loosening an allen head set screw.

You might want to use some anti-seize compound on the pickup tube threads, but, it isn't required. It's pipe thread, so, self sealing.

Power steering with chassis headers.....that has to be a tight fit! I'd get rid of that plastic fire-waiting-to-happen fuel filter too while you're revamping that fuel delivery system.

The type of nut should be the same style as the one on the wiper switch.

GM had ones like that, but, I don't remember seeing any for Mopars. Easy way to find out....try to install it and see if it can be adjusted correctly.

I have quite of bit of info on interchange. just ask! :)

2nd in line.

In '66, the package codes were under the E and F. The E packages I'm most familiar with are the emission packages (such as the C.A.P.) I suspect that the suspension package would be an 8 under the F letter. 7 under the F is the Formula S package.

In '66, you could get a suspension package, but, I don't think there was a performance package as such, other than the Formula S package.

Nice looking rust-free car. A few things mentioned that are not correct. It does not have factory disc brakes. They're the later single piston type like what comes on a '73-up A-body or similar. The factory discs for '66-72 use the 4 piston Kelsey Hayes system. As I mentioned in another post...

To me, the availability of an 8 3/4 only confirms when they started making them and could be dealer installed, not when they were a factory option. I'd like to see some official paperwork (like and order sheet) where that option was actually included in a factory build.

Yes, I've seen '67's with a bench and column shift, just haven't seen one in a '66 FS. It may be due to the '67 being a BH (high) price line, and a '66 being a BP (premium) line. In '66 Bucket seats were standard. As you mentioned, there were all sorts of combinations that could be special...

I've heard that too, but, I've still never seen proof of a '65 model with a factory installed 8 3/4. Dealer installed, yes, lot's of those due to breaking the 7 1/4. I'm not sure what would be needed as proof however. An original order sheet would probably have that. The build sheet MIGHT...

The seller doesn't actually say that it's a Formula S. It has the fender emblems, but, some other features are suspect.....along with some items that are not stock and have been changed, such as the intake, carb, and radiator. No photo of the tach or front sway bar. I guess you could get a...

I should have a decent pair if you're still looking.

On a '71 up system, yes.

The '63 has a different nose. The '64 fenders fit on a '65, but the side ridge angle on the fender is a bit different.

I believe those are '64 Valiant only fenders.

Stock should be a 903 transmission. 1st gear not synchronized. Probably the weakest of all the Mopar transmissions. Manual transmission cars generally came with a lower gear ratio in the rear end than an automatic. There should be a tag on it showing what it is unless someone took it off and...

Yes, if same body style on both

Cigar butts should be to a point, but, cigarette filters aren't considered biodegradable however. It takes a real long time for them to decompose and they have hazardous chemicals in them.

'70 used linkage from the floor shifter to turn the release collar and allow the key to be removed. In '71 the collar has a spring loaded thumb lever you need to push to release the key. The automatics on the column just used the shift lever to do that.

IIRC the 5 hole glass is correct for a '73 and early '74 model. The 7 hole glass is the late '74-6 type. I can't remember the exact changeover date, but, I think it was in mid or late Sept. 1973.

Forged 318 crank. No hole in the front and rear counterweight. Internal balancer too.

You could with the old rope seal. Not so easy with the neoprene ones.

It's a 318 block casting. No way they would make a 340 out of it. They would use the 340 block casting.

Let's see the crank and balancer too....

IIRC they'll interchange, but, they're not exactly the same. Didn't '63 have a built-in socket and wiring pigtail, whereas the '64 had a removable socket?

318 block. Someone's dorked around with the stampings and casting numbers.
