Looks great, now the real fun begins!

Nice story, thanks for posting.

That hose is awfully pristine For being an original?

The car sat for many years and the hose looks better in pictures than real life.

Here is a picture of 1134.  I believe the cap, hose and clamps are original.You cannot view this attachment.

I am very saddened to hear of Dave's passing.  He has been a tremendous resource over the years and he will be greatly missed.  My best to his family.

No, I did not have any issues with tire rub. I went with the 225's all around for no particular reason.  Just decided to do something different. 

I ran 225/60/14's in the front and 245/60/14's in the rear on my '66 for many years.  Yes, they do give the car an awesome look from the rear.  Running 225/60/14's front and rear since the last tire change.

Drove my car on Sunday and both gauges worked as they should.  It seems the terminal cleaning did the trick.  I hope this helps anyone who might encounter the same problem other than the IVR failing.

I finally had time to investigate the gauge problem.  I found the ground wire that plugs in the connector located on the IVR mounting post was half way out.  Pushed it all the way in and tried the gauge.  It worked, but pulsed slightly.  I removed the wire and cleaned the spade and brass connector, also cleaned the connections on the IVR.  After reconnecting all connections and testing, the fuel gauge worked with no pulsing.  I then started her up and both fuel and temperature worked perfectly.  Next test will be a drive this Sunday.  Hopefully, both gauges will work as they should.

I enjoyed watching...thanks for posting.

My car is a May 23, build and it has an open system.  If you have a zero (67200 or 67210) as your third numeral, you should have a cap like the one pictured with AUTOLITE stamped on it.

Welcome aboard!

I know who he is and He should know better.  Looks like the shock tower brace on my '65 Fairlane wagon.

Thanks for the tip.

While driving my '67 GT-350 last Sunday my temperature and fuel gauges stopped working.  Everything else works but the gauges.  I am thinking the IVR died.  Any simple checks before I remove the cluster?

Thanks,
