Jeff,
You will have a problem using a vented gas cap on your '65 A-body. The gas
fill is located at the bumper level. When you acelerate, gas will wash out
the filler tube through the vented gas cap. That's why you can't find a
vented gas cap for your car. You're not going to have much choice
The proper tire pressure is what's shown on the side of your tires. Usually
it will say a maximum load at a certain pressure. On most car tire radials,

I asked a while back about shock recommendations. I decided that
pricier must be better and went with the Edelbrock IAS shocks. Kind of

Huh, the '66 tri-carbs buck that idea.
Come on guys, quit splitting hairs. The '66 442 base option was a 4 barrel.
The 3x2 (6 barrel) was an add-on option to the '66 442 and was very limited.
In '67, the 3x2 pa
