1965 Coronet build

[Jim914]

Mine is routed inside the roof structure with the passenger side across the center and into the roof frame work and down to the mounting point. Hope this helps, hard to explain

I'll route it that way and look at it

Motor and transmission is in

Awesome build so far. Great color. I'm really jealous. I wish I had the time, experience and resources to redo mine to this degree. I'm just hoping my brother has time to get the 440 stroker build moving along in the next month or so. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Where does shield fit into the picture? I don't see it in the service book.
Got this feeling there should be 2.

Thanks

My passenger side frame rail has the tapped holes in the frame same location but no shield. I will get photo tomorrow.

If I had a good picture and measurements.......

Jim since this post I located that power steering return hose shield from placing a wanted add here on FBBO. Member rarefish had one. Here are the pics. It's galvanized and has a part # of which I'm trying to find again.

Jim those access plates each side of shock tower should be black. Both sides.

Also the insulation under intake should not be visible.

Basically just push it in further to hide?
I have the Shield but the intake is too low for fitment. I remember shields installed in the 70s. Not sure on 65

 

[dmoore]

Yes...towards rear. Which shield are you referring to?

 

[dmoore]

Something has to be done with that pwr steering pressure hose!

The ones over the intake valley pan. Covered the insulation between intake and valley pan

I had gotten 2 power steering hoses with the car. The metal ends were unbent. I did not know if you would have to bend them to fit.
I got a bent one in place now

Oh you're talking about the real thin metal that gets mounted towards the rear with the three belly pan bolts and holds down that insulation in place.

Yes. We're they on 65s?

Jim my only experience with those is on a 77 Cordoba 400 can't speak about 65
