Re: power steering belt to radiator clearance

If problem started after pump replacement, I would re-trace the steps on the new install to make sure everthing is properly aligned and adjusted.

Re: 66 Fuel System Issue

Seems this is a fuel pickup problem inside the tank. The problem seems to be is a improperly placed pickup tube that is only submerged about 1/4 way into the fuel. I would start by pulling the the sending unit/fuel pick up out of the tank and re installing it with the proper orientation of the tube.

Re: doors fit other years

A 65 door will not fit on a 64. Been there, tried it, and it will not fit. Door latch is at a different height. Outer skin may interchange but the frame will not fit. Hinges line up but latch does not.

Re: Transmission

Does the motor rev up when you try to go forward just like it is in neutral or does it just bog down

ISO Spring compressor instructions

Re: Is a 64 a 65

I believe my 64 has two flashers, one for the turn signals mounted on driver side above steering column and one for the hazard flasher on the passenger side above the fuse panel. My car does have the convenience panel.
