Pics of my ride!

Not very glamourous as they were taken in haste in the fall but you get the idea!

I'll post better ones in the spring when the sunshine comes back!

Looks good, one of my alltime favorite body styles!! I used to own a 64 Dodge "440" with a 426. I later put a 440 in it for awhile.

I know you've been fighting heater problems. Here's my unrelated story about the heater problems with my 426, back then

I had bought some SW gauges, and the lame store where I got them in San Diego didn't have what I wanted, and talked me into an electric temp gauge.

I had built a custom dash, and soon after that, it seemed to me that the "average" guage readings changed. It didn't occur to me that at about the same time the engine started pinging, would sometimes gargle water out the overflow at low speed.

FINALLY I decided that the guage just had to be bad, and that the engine was overheating. I also could not get any heat from the heater, but in San Diego, you don't need it often

After a lot of hair pulling, I finally decided to yank the water pump off and inspect inside the block. I pulled the pump, and when I layed it down on the floor, it went, "clank, tinkle, tink" ""What??!!!""

The impeller had rusted off the shaft!!! The engine was being cooled only by convection, just like a model T!!!
