I guess there may be an NOS correct belt out there somewhere but depending how it was stored I would be very concerned about using it.

Yeah I think I had a little less actually....two years and a few WOT and my Glen Ray remains unscathed! HA!

Sweet. That’s what I want to hear

Yeah I thought about that too, don’t want a dryer out one

So during your research was that engine ground attached to engine when it was painted?

 

[dmoore]

I only ask because it was painted with engine on the 426-S. I have documented 2 original 426-S vehicles that had painted ground cables. This one is a 65 Dodge Monaco 4-speed car. And a rare one to boot!

 

[dmoore]

Correction only 1 426-S. This one was a 35,000 miles 64 Dodge Polara 500 convertible 383. Not real easy to see but engine ground cable was painted with engine.

 

[Chuck Marshall]

I saw an original one for sale on EBay a while ago and copied it from the pictures and discription from the ad like eyelet sizes and length. It did not have any hemi Orange paint on either end. Also took pictures of an original Max Wedge at Carlisle about 3 years ago and it was not painted. So as far as I've found they where not hanging on engine when painted hemi orange

 

[dmoore]

Right! I remember reading that in a few threads back. I was unsure about the 426-S early on so I left it alone until I found those two examples.

Masked off my fan blades to paint the center support semi gloss black.

 

[Chuck Marshall]

Mounted the fan to the clutch

Got the reproduction Max Wedge Dual Choke Cable. Mounted it to dash and made 7/8 hole in firewall and routed to carbs.

 

[Chuck Marshall]

Got the firewall grommet mounted for Choke cable and attached cable ends to both carburetors and it works great. Also ran the tachometer drive cable through firewall with grommet. Waiting on running the cable up to the tachometer.

Your having fun now! Hey Chuck, what finish was your tag bracket originally?

Are you talking about the license plate door that covers the gas filler? If so it’s the original finish that I just cleaned up. I wanted to try and keep things original if I could

[dmoore]

Yes, Looks to have been black originally. I was curious, mine is as well.

 

[Chuck Marshall]

Got the Emergency brake cable brackets from Joe Suchy and installed them before getting the exhaust system installed

 

[dmoore]

Those look different than mine. Are those MW specific?

Yes, Joe Suchy has them

 

[Chuck Marshall]

Picked up my Max Wedge TTI 3” exhaust system this morning and started to install it
