Today the BIRD sang. For the first time since the recovery of my 65 Bird she started and ran.

Motor was replaced by someone with a Galaxy 390 2brl.

Have replaced the manifold with an original 4V and added a Holley 600 CFM that Bob P. suggested and today turned the key. What a sweet sound. Sounds like a Bird with ('scuse the expression) balls.

Do love that sound. You guys understand don't you.

And Bob thanks for the suggestion on the carb.

Ken

Sounds like your having a good time with that Bird, Thats great. Be sure you have a good fuel filter in front of that carb.

Actually have had the tank boiled and coated and yes I have added an in line fuel filter too. Thanks Bob

Have you had any problems with the vacuum lines, nothing works in my 65, there are several lines just hanging under the hood that come from the right firewall side. I have no heat and the air won't come on, the rear vent doesn't work either. any help would be appreciated. thanks Ron thunder66@comcast.net

Ron, There is a Vacuum Diagram right on this web site for them lines.
