I need the wire that connects center post of a mustard top coil that routes to the Hipo distributor cap. Not the small black wire from dist side of coil to dizzy base. This is the straight push on coil connector with 90 degree at cap. Gotta be really nice with proper markings, etc.

Thanks for the clarification! Makes sense.

Follow on question regarding coating of the hipo balancer and the lower pulley:
1. Assume hipo balancer was painted/coated before it was installed on engine. Was the large balancer attaching nut "natural" or coated in some way?
2. Assume lower pulley was dipped by outside source in same manner as alternator bracket prior attachment. Were the three lower pully attaching bolts "natural" or coated in some way?

When the factory assembled a 65 HiPo engine, logical to install timing cover and water pump with their attaching bolts in place before painting it all black, Was the bare stamped steel upper alternator bracket bolted to the engine before the engine was painted or was the bracket painted black and then attached to the engine using bolts that were not painted black? Would think bracket was painted black before it was attached to engine. Otherwise, really hard to completely paint entire bracket while on engine.
Would think attaching the upper alternator bracket and then painting engine would make it more difficult to later install the alternator and spacer.
Any bolts not painted?

Anyone explain engine painting and bracket assembly sequence?

Have a pair of horns with date stamp of 65 in horn. But shape of mounting bracket indicates they are 67.  Anyone have good pair of mar-apr 65 horns?

Did the horns on the 65 GT350 have a date stamp on them?

Really interested in the three on the upper half of the pump. Believe pass side is a castle headed bolt and other 2 (one at top and other at drives corner) are shorter "normal" bolts.

Am interested to see pictures of the bolts that connect the alum water pump to timing cover for a 65 GT350 engine. Specifically the bolts closest to the distributor at top of pump. Were they the same or was one of them a longer castle bolt with a washer?

Details, geez...

My personal opinion for what its worth, is that the only real option for a real 65 GT350 is a real 28-spline locker.
By the way, Randy, you ever decide to let the locker you have squirreled away go the a new home?

Looking for a good distributor shaft for a 65 hipo dual point.

Thanks gentlemen. Exactly what I was looking for. Now to reroute those pesky wires.

Would someone please post a picture of the proper routing of the wires to the distributor and coil for a 65 GT350 engine?
Thanks

I believe it is.

Jim, my friend, I will see you again in a minute.

bump - still looking.
