would love to own it

Nice car Tim, you cracked me up with the sprinkler comment, lol!

First round of cleaning this morning yielded the engine suffix crayon marks. Pulled the valve covers afterwards to find the properly dated 461's along with the original "O" rocker arms.

On a different note, have you seen a remanence of paint on the deck like found here? I cannot say that I recall that. The rest of the paint on the engine strikes me as original (obviously with the crayon marks on the head).

I neglected to answer the other question Bob had in his post "will the car be for sale?" Yes it will. If anyone would like to know more about the car, feel free to reach out.

Thanks for the continuing interest!
Tim

Me too, but not in the cards.

I've owned 2 1965 365hp corvettes, these are the best of the C3s,
plenty of power, no heat coming in the passenger compartment
like Big block cars, 4 wheel disc and one of the few solid lifter Chevrolets
engines to be offered w/air conditioning.
365 HP corvettes were not available with power steering because the 6 Qt
oil pan left no room for the steering ram.

Tim, this car keeps getting better and better. I would keep the radiator with the car, 4 months is a little far but still could have happened. I also like the sprinkler comment. I wish I could buy it but I have no more room.

I've been more of an office clerk today than pulling wrenches. Pulled the plugs and completed the Williams / Hinckley valve adjustment procedure. Obviously this still has the 30-30 cam in it. Despite old crusty plug wires and old stinky fuel, the plugs looked good IMO!

Clean those puppies up and put them right back in. Nothing wrong with them.

When they’re old like that can they sometimes leak between the resistor and the hex head? They look a little burnt there
