Hi John,
to me it sounds like the starter solenoid is getting the heat and therefore wont
work, I'd try a heat shield on the starter.

I've never had any problems with either my Autometer nor my chevy gauge but if I

Sorry about that, I was reading right through the "won't crank at all" part
All I can offer is that "back in the day" I used to throw a big cup of water
over the starter when it would heat sink. If that was the problem, the cup
of water was a good quick fix.

I checked the oil today. It was actually about a quart low and I filled it.

Thanks. I am definitely going to try that right away. I've seen cars crank
hard when hot because of timing, but this one doesn't crank at all. Seems
pretty extreme, especially since I'm running with stock pistons.

Chuck,
the control arms came out of a 69. They are
not boxed just standard control arms. I was hoping to find someone that
had some rear end parts or possibly a sway bar so we could work out some sort of

On a 68, the jute is on the inside, behind the seat, and the board faces

Dan, when you buy the hood don't forget the insulation. It isn't that
expensive and does finish off the hood for when it is open.

I believe from checking out my fuel sending unit and gauge, that in 1964
they were 50 OHM and in 1965 they went to 90 OHM. I have a 90 OHM
sending unit and a 90 OHM gauge, but it is not working the full range of the
gauge. It only reads about half the range on the gauge.
