Tim, is that your distributor machine. If so, cool.

Yeppers. Beats trying to gap points and readjust dwell in the car.

Tim,

I subscribed at the beginning of this thread, mainly because of the light yellow on black combination, I’m partial.

I started taking the front seats out decades ago to perform work under the dash as I felt like a pretzel 🥨 after exiting.

Curious, shouldn’t the Delco-Remy cap for this ‘65 be the “Patent Pending” only with the tall towers. No “R”, as I show below.

Yup, that vintage SUN distributor machine is really cool.

I enjoyed watching the work you did on that cool Black ‘64 FI awhile back and I’m watching this ‘65 getting dialed in.

Thanks for documenting, Chris

Not much to show for today on the 65. Between working on a car deal and getting the plow ready for what looks to be a foot of snow, all I have is this wiper motor to show for progress.

Yep, put the winter wheels/tires on mine yesterday. We've gotten about 6" so far. Hoping it doesn't get much deeper.

I came in early this morning in order to get the dash back together. Installed the wiper motor, rebulb everything, install the rebuilt clock, gauge cluster, and glove box.

Now.......try to get the kinks out of my back
