Re: New to forum and threads
Welcome! I too have been a member for a while but never posted anything about my '65 shortbed (SBC 350 w M-21 4-spd). It's been almost 9 yrs now, and so much has progressed since acquiring this derelict from a junk heap in 2014. Been a long road, and am very pleased with the results, but I have 2 stubborn issues that remain:
1) Flickering Headlights- I've changed switch, alternator, and cleaned any corrosion off harness. The forum recommends I install a ground strap from cab to block. I'll try that next.
2) Engine starves for fuel at 65-70 MPH. I've changed fuel filter, removed "sock" in tank, and changed the mech. pump. Motor has HEI, so it's not points. QuadraJet was rebuilt in 2014, and float/needle valve are correct. Mechanic says to just install an Edelbrock, but I like the efficiency of smaller primaries on a Q-Jet.
Any insight would be most welcome.
