Had the same problem with a '66 some years back. Turned out to be a flat wire connector in the trunk that wasn't plugged in all the way.
It's a 1965 401
L is in the sequence for 1965. J=63, K=64, L=65, and M=66
T is for the 325 hp, single four barrel 401
W is for the 340 hp single four barrel 425.
X is for the 360 hp dual...
I know my post is a couple of months old, but I have a friend who has a factory rerplaced engine in his '65 Gran Sport. He has the dealer paper work to back up the warranty replacement. On his...
The ST400 (TH400) transmission will have a solenoid terminal on the driver's side of the trans to control the kick down. On the other side will a tag riveted to the side that will have the year and...
After some years the brushes and windings in the starter will expand when they get hot. As the engine cools, so does the starter motor and those windings contract and your starter performs again. ...
Gran Sports built for sale in the US can be identified in a couple of way.
They have an LX coded engine: Two four barrel carbs, finned aluminum valve covers, larger exhaust, a BS coded ST400...
[QUOTE=carguy;102485]I have a power seat that I am having problems with. I replaced the switch and put new tracks runners on the right hand side. The seat goes backward fine, but it jerks and stops...
If it's the same part number as the converter that was in the 401 powered GS cars then it should fit. It's the same transmission within a different case. The smaller converter behind a big block...
If you want to run a "wilder" cam and want the high stall of the switch pitch to allow for it without having to put a ton of pressure on the brake pedal, get a switch pitch converter from an ST300. ...
I agree. The links coming from the wheel cylinder to the shoe should be coming straight out of the wheel cylinder. Are you sure that you have the wheel cylinders in right side up? Are you sure...
I think that would be a good idea or just show the code numbers and shorten the description. Most guys know that the skirting and backs of all seats are vinyl. You could just list the code and...
Here's a video that shows you how to do what is stated above.

Good luck.

I have a '63 Riviera with white leather interior. The code on my data plate is 748. When I look at the links that are posted above, there's a big discrepancy in the codes. The link in this forum...
You may need a donut IF your passenger's side exhaust manifold originally had a 'bolt on' heat riser. If it did and someone discarded that heat riser, you'll need a donut. The original heat riser...
Just out of curiosity, what info is on the aluminum tag on the passenger's side of the transmission? There should be a date and a code BT, BS, or something similar. that will tell you what model...
Casting numbers were the same for many engines for different periods of time. You need to find the 'engine code' which is stamped, not cast, into the block. The link with accompanying pictures will...

Open this link and see what Dave Gee did about running a PCV valve into a finned aluminum cover. Pretty simple. About the 10th row down on the right hand side you'll see what he did to the under...
In reading this thread, I saw some references to Bill Hirsch engine paints. On another forum one guy posted that he had been having trouble with Hirsch paints burning off and not sticking as well as...
Some of what you're requesting will depend on what you want to do about the air cleaner. The original AFB's have a smaller opening than the aftermarket ones. The kickdown linkage for your...
No. The first year was 1964.
I was researching nailhead distributors on Google and came across this thread. If you haven't already figured it out, the 1x4 401/425 for '64, 65, and '66 engines are all timed at 2-1/2* BDTC. The...
If you want to use an original air cleaner, you'll need to use the top from the original carb on the Edelbrock. The Edlebrock air horn is the same size as a Rochester Quadrajet.
