Corey in the first 2 pictures you posted that i sent youin the beginning of this string of the dashpot on my car, there is not exposed spring like on the autolite. I suspect that the spring is underneath the rubber boot

Not to change the topic, but is that a picture of 0001? if so I would have thought the hood would have the bent edges and the headlight buckets would be beveled.....unless that is just a bad picture angle
The first couple months of production didn't use the common '64.5' hood with beveled edges. Those early hoods look like a normal '65 hood, although there are understructure features that are different than '65 hoods.

I have to get something off my chest. We all know that the pandemic is getting worse, figures don't lie. Our Law Makers (a name I never liked), and politicians PREACH safe distancing, wear your masks, etc,etc.....
But watch politicians on TV, I'm sure you've all seen the news clip from all the politicians NOT wearing their mask and definitely not safe distancing.....
Now, what really gets me is Sports. I have seen oh, I'd say 99% of football, baseball, basketball players as they're playing their sport, NOT WEARING ANY MASK OR FACE COVERING AT ALL!! Seen the side lines a minute ago on sports news?? Coaches wearing a mask, LOL, but nobody else?!!
Perhaps the numbers are the same, and the amount of positives are being influenced by increased testing.
I don't understand this country at all. I have a BAD feeling about our future and the Pandemic we ALL face..... Yes, ALL OF US!!!
Other's Thoughts?

I second the recommendation for a full tank. I also have put gas line antifreeze in the tank along with fuel stabilizer. I know some people feel compelled to start a car up a time or two during the winter, but I've been told by a few people over the years whom I trust that this is not required and if the car is not brought up to full operating temperature, the resulting condensation is not good for the car. If you can't leave it alone, consider putting the battery in it once or twice over the winter and cranking it a few times to get the oil pressure up and the oil circulating, then take the battery back out. I have been storing at least one or two cars a year this way for almost 50 years and I've never once had an issue. I'm also in the northeast and likely a little further north than you. I've just put the freshly charged battery back in the car in the spring and they have always started right up.
Quote from: Bob Gaines on September 29, 2020, 02:07:38 PMBob Thank you for the quick reply. I do have car jacket which I will use. Would you suggest a full tank or half tank of fuel; many schools of thought there.Quote from: KDunne on September 29, 2020, 01:54:37 PMPut fuel stabilizer in the gas tank and change the oil before storage. If a unheated unattended building then I would consider one of the car jacket carbags to zip the car up in so that you don't have to worry about rodents. I used them for years with success. You can unzip it to start the car up if are planning on starting it every couple works and letting warm up which would be ideal. If not planning on starting then then take the battery out and store it safely someplace where you can put it on a battery tender. Just a few that are top of my list .I will let others add theirs.
Question for the group. I did a search but didn't find specifics on what I was looking for. If its out there can some one point me to the post?
My car wont be driven through the winter months (Northeast). Specific to the engine, what should be done to it to ensure a problem free spring start up. I will have the ability to start it but not on a consistent basis. Lastly the car will be stored in an insulated, but non-heated garage.
Thank you
Kevin

Trust me. Good centers a lot harder to find than restorable dishes
