Alex,
Only an A-body masochist like myself and a few others could understand what you just said. Don't forget those pain-in-the-butt L.H. and R.H. thread patterns. Also, that vacuum-operated Performance Indicator in the center of the dashboard. Remember that little tube that ran through
the firewall, and into the runner on the intake manifold, directly behind the carburetor. As for the 8 3/4's. Your correct, not available for 65', but they were in 66'. Check out the D-Dart web site. You can see the rear-end housing for Ted Spehar's "Politician". Also, have more web.sites with
66' cars with 8 3/4's. Not to throw you a curve, but in late 65', New York
City ordered several black 4-door sedan V-200 Valiants, with 273/235HP Commando engines, 4-speed transmissions with the
3.09 first-gear (Granny-gear), and 3.55 posi-rears. They were utilized
by the Taxi commission, and city transport cars, for low and mid-level
city commissioners. If you want, i can lead to one on the internet. it will blow your mind.
